Mickey Mantle tells you "How I Hit" in this 1956 LIfeboy Soap giveaway booklet. What makes it unique from others that have been offered, is that it is accompanied by a full-page magazine advertisement with an intact redemption coupon for the free booklet, along with the original mailing envelope. The booklet is solid and nearly pristine, with only several small spine cracks, that limit the technical grade to (EX-MT), though otherwise it presents a good bit better. Discovered in the 16-page booklet are photos of the Mantle family, “who all use Lifebuoy”, and tips from Mickey on various aspect of the game, such as hitting, throwing, fielding, and of course, cleanliness, with the endorsement “After every game. I always take a bath or a shower with my favorite soap, Lifebuoy. Most of my big-league friends like Lifebuoy, I hope you will too!” Opening Bid $200.
