			Ditto. Beautiful even toning and a signature that explodes within contrast.

			Thought I would add to this thread... Although not a rare autograph, I have always loved this photo of Mickey. I used to stare at pictures of the 1952 Topps card and curse my Grandmother for throwing away my Dad's baseball cards. Finally was able to add one (not the baseball card!) to my collection.   |

			In the mid 1980s, about 1884 or 85 , I believe, a couple of dealer friends of mine were going to the National in Chicago and asked me if I wanted anything signed by Mantle.  I grabbed an old Mantle MM4 model glove I had recently picked up and let them take it to Chicago.  They came back with Mick's Auto, but it was not easy to read.  They said he took his time signing the glove, actually taking a few moments trying to decided what color felt marker to sign the glove with.  Over the course of thirty years the ink has bled somewhat also.  But I know he signed it and it stands out as one of my treasures. I am afraid to clean the glove too much for fear of loosing what is left of the auto. Attachment 183808 Attachment 183809

			Thanks, Jason, Steve, Chris.  Some of that "toning" is just plain old dirt--My fifteen-year-old self handled that ball quite a bit.  It's an OAL Cronin ball, BTW.
