-----not to mention that the card shows the preferred ending (at least for the Yankees) with Mickey making a spectacular HR saving catch!!!

This was a pretty cool Mantle item and the only one made. It's a handmade display sign advertising Mickey Mantle's Holiday Inn in Joplin Missouri from back in the 1950s. I couldn't ever find any info on it but I believe it was a prototype because of the size, roughly 8" by 18".

For Jimmy
Vintage, original, first generation 1956 period Gallo photo - Mick's favorite - with original Raymond Gallo Photographer stamp (no zip code). They don't get much better than this!!!
This 11X14 beauty hung in Mickey's office during the first few years of his Holiday Inn. Last edited by Frozen in Time; 03-17-2014 at 03:20 PM. |

Craig,
I've always loved that shot, and for the life of me, can't remember ever seeing anything even remotely resembling an original. Now, the eyes have it! More! More! More!!! Graig

I was lucky to get the total package: Glove with original tag and string attached, copy of magazine ad and the plastic packaging.
See photo below. |

And what a package it is - just beautiful!!! Congratulation on a terrific acquisition. I've always loved that ad. I wonder if there is a cardboard version of the ad?

Thanks Jimmy. There is just something about this image that perfectly captures all the qualities that I loved about Mickey.

Thanks. I thought you would enjoy seeing the total package. As far as a cardboard version of the ad - I have never seen one. Since it is for Armour Franks, I would think a grocery store / super market would have been the place that a cardboard advertising sign would have been used. Probably would have been a difficult placement in the deli section. But then again - items do show. Your Mantle photo is outstanding - how did you get that one? Jerry |

One more for Jimmy and Graig
Type I - 1952 Spring Training. To me Mickey's expression seems both majestic and pensive at the same time - perhaps conveying the conflicting sense of confidence and self-doubt that he still felt going into his sophomore year.

Love that card Bill. Interesting how they slightly modified and enlarged the image from the '51 Bowman card for the '53 Topps.

I don't know Craig. His ear doesn't match.
BTW... that 52 Spring Training photo is yet another MONSTER image of the Mick! There will come a time Craig, that we're gonna have to talk trade... Last edited by thekingofclout; 11-22-2011 at 07:42 AM. |

Another Mantle Photo
Type I photo of the Mick with Mel Allen. Used for a "Sports Quiz" August of 1954 in Sport Magazine. Not that many images of the two together during Mickey's early years. Love the smile on Mickey and that ghostly image of the YS stands in the background.

My favorite Mantle ball since its the only one inscribed with the #7 and I have wanted one for years and finally bought one. It was an upper deck ball until the previous owner took off the sticker, and now its got a full letter from PSA/DNA.

I recently picked up my first Mantle autograph. This was a two page foldout from the April '69 issue of Sport magazine. This insert pays tribute to Mantle and the upcoming "Mickey Mantle Day" at Yankee Stadium during which Mantle's number was retired. Even a non-sports fan should see the simple beauty of a Mantle signature.

Bump.
Was wondering if anyone could tell me what the value of a piece like this is: It's apparently a Type 1 photo of his retirement, but I have no idea how to tell as I know nothing about vintage photos. Would really like one for a Mantle display though. |

Incredible stuff Fred....
How much does that Hartland Mold weigh? Can you even lift it? Also... why only 2 Black Mantles? Why were these even made? If there's a story behind those, would be interesting to hear it |

Lucky enough to have two Mantle items:
My father got this back in the late 80's in Westchester county (he's a huge Mantle fan. I am too but I grew up rooting for the Mets ) All he had to do was pay $5 a ball. Got two Mantle's and one Aaron. I sold one of the Mantle's and got this from The Written Word: |

Wow, those line-ups really show how far the mighty Yanks had fallen.
Super items, though.

Scott,
Certainly put that ball to good use!! I would have had the Berra card at the top with Mickey's. Craig |
#188
|
||||
|
||||
Craig, I haven't built the piece yet, but Berra at top is probably a good idea.
Another option I just thought of, would be to get a more recent single-signed Mantle ball, and trade out the blank panel for the one on my ball. Just kidding.

Doug,
I love that Mantle 1st HR scorecard. Very cool! Just curious, do you also own a ticket to this game? Best, Scott |

I don't have a ticket for that game, I don't collect tickets per se, but I do have a bunch that have come with the programs / scorecards that I have collected. I think my earliest stub for a Mantle played game is June 17, 1951. I think my earliest Mantle HR stub is April 21, 1954 where he hit #2 for the season, which was #59 of his career. |
