Show everything & anything of "The Mick"

[LOUCARDFAN]

When I won this from a top end auction house last year I was pumped because I was going to have this framed with a really awsome pic of the Mick and what a conversation piece it would be.

I took it to get it authenticated at last year's National in Chicago and was heartbroken when it came back as unauthentic. I was given a refund right away from the auction house but this is one item that I really wanted.

At least the auction house didn't give you that answer!

I picked this up at the recent White Plains show. From what we can tell, it is a 1953 signature.

Ted,

How did you arrive at 1953 as the date of the Mantle page? I have to disagree--in your favor, judging by signature style, that sig dates to no later than 1952. This style was employed by Mantle during his first two MLB seasons.

Wow! I was the underbidder on that piece. It certainly would have been a great piece to display. Glad you got your money back.

Best, Jimmy

Jimmy, small world. At least it saved you from alot of trouble if you had won it. The auction house did at least issue me a refund check right there at the National and even refunded the money I spent to have it authenticated. Too bad as it was a cool item but both PSA/DNA and Jimmy Spence both agreed that is wasn't genuine.

Vintage original TYPE I photograph from late Sept. 1956 when Williams was still leading Mantle in the race for the batting title. Mick of course would come back to win the title and the Triple Crown.

I am guessing this is one of the only Basketballs Mantle signed :-D

.

To bad the last owner got Willis Reed and Brad Van Pelt to sign it as well.

Jesh no respect for the Mick.

Picked up this magazine at Barnes & Noble yesterday. Not a bad rundown of Mantle related material and noteworthy for its inclusion of three works by our resident prodigy, Master Kreindler.

Mantle has been one of my collecting focuses since we started in this hobby 20 years ago (lets see...I was 12 years old then...ugh..I'm 32 now!!)...here is a sample of some of our Mantle stuff....

Hey guys, first time in. Did they give you a reason why they thought this mantle was no good. I wouldnt take either of those companies as the final word. I'm curious whether Jodi or Richard have an opinion on this. I would say it's good.

even though it's only the front page...

and it was acquired as a companion piece for these.

My 3 favorite Mickey pics. Both from Sport magazines.

April 1953
Cover:


Inner page pic:



May 1955


It's so hard to choose the best as Mickey was a very frequent subject in Sport mag, both on covers and inner pics. To see most of them follow link below(I only have up to 1962 covers scanned and up to 1955 inner pics scanned as of now).

I posted a while back but wanted to add this 9 panel exhibit card display section that has the Mick on it...




This proof is from the toppsvault - from the '52 reprint set:



And another example of an exhibit card vending machine display of the Mick:



Last, I showed the Mick card that's in the 50s Mickey Mantle Game - now - here's a game card from the set:

Absolutely fantastic stuff Mike! The Mantle Exhibit header piece is Killer. Also, the strip from the Vault. Thanks so much for sharing.

Best, Jimmy

BTW... did I mention how sweet the condition was on all of your pieces

Just had this framed a few days ago and wanted to share. I wish I could take better pics. The signature is 7" long to give some perspective of this beautiful item.

[perezfan]

Very sweet..... have always loved that piece. Great job framing and matting!

Hey Jimmy,
Great photo. Dig the Mick's Aloha shirt tucked into the Sansabelt slacks. Not necessarily a chick getting look!

Only the Mick could get away with that!

Letter from when I joined the Mickey Mantle fan club in1984.





Unfortunately, it was short lived. I never got the membership card or any copies of the magazine/catalog they were supposed to create.

I don't know much about it, but here's a Mantle Little League bat that I picked up several years ago.

Looks like a real Mantle to me

Mickey Mantle autographed Litho of a Robert Riger drawing the appeared in the March 4,1957 Issue of Sports Illustrated.
In many people's opinion - if graded - the autographed would be a definite 10.
