Mantle Jersey on Ebay $20,000+

It didn't make it back up to the majors, someone just restored the number 7.

Scott,
Could you post the history about it? I don't know why when people sell items that have provenance, yet they decide not to list it(not just referring to this item, but have seen other items in the past).


I think Greg means how the player got the jersey after it was sent to the minors, unless the player who played with Mantle in 1966 was sent to the minors in 1967 and used the jersey.

That's not what the description says -- it says the number is vintage and was put on the jersey back then. And if the jersey didn't return to the majors, how did a Mantle teammate get it?

I'm not doubting the jersey -- I just want to figure out the correct sequence of events.

Brock,

That's a good point -- somehow I didn't see your post before writing what I just posted.

Only brought $28,000 but reserve not met.

Looks like the Stengel jersey is coming back up for sale. But this time has the number and NY on it. Anyone know how much the restoration work would have cost?

Knew it went cheap

I don't think it will bring the 10-15k.
