DescriptionA 1964 Mickey Mantle talking baseball card, produced by Auravision, a branch of Columbia Records. The audio produced by the talking baseball record is Mickey Mantle giving tips on how to field and hit. He also gives advice to Little League players.

He stands in front of a blue sky background with a green border. Text in the upper corner reads "33 1/3 RPM." His signature is in the lower left corner and the Sports Record, Inc. logo is in the upper right. The back is black font on a white background with red borders. The top half contains instructions on how to play the record, a print of a head and shoulders photograph of Mantle, and "The Mickey Mantle Story." The bottom half contains Mantle's "Baseball History", which contains his statistics.
