The autograph hobby's favorite son makes the scene with this single-signed baseball. The darling of the New York baseball media during his playing days, Mickey Mantle was a big draw at memorabilia shows in his later years. This prime example of Mickey's autograph resides on the sweet spot of an OAL/Brown baseball. An absolute must for any serious autograph collector, this potent example projects a ("9") degree of strength and the ball presents in (NM-MT+) state. It's hard to believe that next year will mark the 30th anniversary of Mantle's passing as with the tremendous demand for related items, it seems like he's still with us. Auction LOA from James Spence/JSA. Opening Bid $200.
