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

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.
