Here's one of mine: Signed on the plane on the way to the 1953 All Star Game. Rizutto was also on the plane.Attachment 305993

One of my absolutely favorite cards. The '58 ALL Star subset is great and Mickey's card is the pick of the litter! That's a beauty.

Anything Mick is my favorite, but here is a ball, my signed HOF book, and a photo, all from my first meeting with the mick in the late 80's. I couldn't get the smile off my face for several weeks. LOL

Here's my best unsigned Mantle. Had a really nice signed Bowman rookie but I sold it circa 2013 when I was starting law school.

Lordstan 02-22-2018 06:24 PM

I have a lot of Mantles as he was a regular on the NY show circuit all through the 80's and was lucky enough to see him a truck load of times for anywhere from $7 to $15 per item. I am sure, I have over 100 of him. Here are a few of my favorite items

This is the Mantle signed rookie Mike was referring to. It's still in my collection.

Great stuff, guys!

Regarding a signed Mantle item, here's my best piece...July 15, 1951, signed back of menu from road trip in Detroit. Last day he wore #6, as he was sent down to AAA, this same day.

Scott Garner 02-24-2018 04:54 AM

What an awesome thread! So many cool Mantle rarities.
Congrats to all that posted so far.

The Mick
 
Great idea for a thread Charlie, that awesome Mick signed auto book for Miss P. Rico is one of my all timers sir. For me looking to get an early Mick for the collection. As of now only have this single signed auto acquired from a very helpful "54" member. Enclosed link from a Sterling auction way back when, IF only there was a way to actually verify the write up? Keep it coming boys, beautiful pieces.

Very impressive memorabilia guys.

A few of mine.

It's refreshing for me to be involved in a thread about authentic autographs and not forgeries.

Great looking pieces, Chris.

And to the other posters, more great stuff and thanks for sharing!!

I don't do a lot of autographs but have quite a few JR Burdick letters. Here he just signed "Jeff"

Letters are so cool to own.

Nice.

Wow, I can't compete with all these great Mantle pieces. The one time Lowly Mantle Collector only has cookie cutter pieces. here are few of my favorites:

thetruthisoutthere 02-25-2018 12:36 PM

Chuck, those are some awesome pieces!!!!!

Mr. Zipper 02-25-2018 04:32 PM

Very nice stuff everyone. :D

I love the 1951 pose, Chuck. Wow... a real winner.

Ryan1125 02-26-2018 07:20 AM

For me it's a tie lol, here is a beautiful bold Don/Mick 8x10 with my favorite Donnie signature style:

https://i.imgur.com/7EYSJ9n.jpg

However, this one means more. I have looked for a "To Ryan" Mantle photo/ball for 7+ years. Last year I saw a "lot" of several signed photos, and it looked like the Mantle was personalized so I checked it out. I couldn't believe my eyes! Even better, when it showed up it was an 11x14, not an 8x10 like the listing said!

https://i.imgur.com/f8zu3jS.jpg

If anyone ever sees any "To Ryan" stuff, keep me in mind!

Sophiedog 02-26-2018 08:20 AM

Keep Them Coming!!!! Great Stuff Everyone!

Great stuff, everyone!

Wonder why Mattingly is depicted with a "29" on his knob?

Not sure why there is a 29, but Mattingly did often put different numbers on the knobs of his bat, because when he was at the height of his popularity his bats often were stolen or went "missing".

Sophiedog 02-27-2018 06:32 AM

More great stuff guys; Love seeing them. I have always wondered something about Mantle's signing habits. He often signed "Best Wishes" on a lot of the pieces he signed from early on until he passed in 1995. Has anyone ever seen an authentic item with the "t" in "Best" crossed? I have never seen him cross the t on anything and wonder if anyone has. If you have a piece signed like that please post it!
Thanks everyone and thank you again for posting and keeping this thread going with all the beautiful signed Mantle items!

My best unsigned item...

1955-58 Mantle Game Used Bat, Full PSA/DNA (Taube) LOA. Outstanding use. Handle restoration, which is fully documented.

Very nice.

Thank you to everyone for your photos.

This is, for me anyway, a refreshing thread.

Chris - thanks to you I get to post here. I feel like a rookie who was just called up to the big leagues! Just happy to be here and hope it's the start of a long career! My first and only Mantle auto.

MVSNYC 03-01-2018 02:50 PM

Tony- that's a beautiful MM sig.

This one was signed in person for my 13 year old dad in 1950, when Mantle's Joplin played in Enid.
