Wow thank you, this does help me! This is the first time I have seen anything like it anywhere. Still hunting for a Wold Series one but this is a great start.

That All-Star partial tea set is an interesting lot. Although Mantle's, (i) very importantly, does not have the player's name engraved, (ii) is for an All Star game selection, not as collectible as World Series Champion Award, and (iii) is missing the tray, which greatly hurts presentation, and makes the award incomplete. Though it is Mick's - but you would need a piece of paper on display with it for people to know. But it is interesting - and it is Mickey Mantle's.

Yes he is an amazing guy, the best stories ever! I have collected his stuff for years and when he handed things out I was the only grandchild to get anything since he knew I had been collecting so much. I never knew he would give me anything but I was very lucky. This was the only thing I didn't have a price for. I am trying to insure everything though you can't put a value on family items the company still wanted something to show it's value. I will go with the $10k mark I guess. Thanks everyone for your help!

If it was really given instead of a WS ring, $10,000 sounds reasonable.
