I�ve had quite a few Mantle cards pass through my hands over the years. I always seem to sell them to fund a Clemente purchase. All I have currently is this ball he signed for me in Portland about 30 years ago. If I remember correctly they were charging $20 at that time. It has never toned and remains in the same condition it was when I handed it to Mickey all those years ago. I also have this type 1photo from 1958.

I got my Mantle ball in Portland(Memorial Coliseum) also about 30 years ago and I remember thinking the 20 or 25 dollars was pretty steep so almost didn't buy the Autograph ticket. Koufax was $15.00 close to the same time frame.
What a time to buy autographs......
