Prices firm + cost of courier S&H from Canada. Payment by check.

1. Mickey Mantle single signed album page. Mid-1950's signature style on a green A/P. The ballpoint pen died as he was signing. Most of last name enhanced, but first name is fine. $500.

2. Fountain pen Mantle autograph removed from a 1959 Yankees team sheet. This one measures about 1.25X3, with the signature itself being a touch less wide than that. There are spiral perforations at the top, as it was originally in a spiral style notepad. I've included a couple of photos of how it could potentially be displayed. The sizing of this would make it perfect for a custom card, or even to just frame and mat with whatever other pieces you had in mind! If you're into Mantle's signature variations, this represents one of the least encountered styles, as he employed it quite briefly. Note the two different styles of M. It's what I call the "transitional variation", where you start seeing the signature slowly progressing to the famous M's, while still retaining some elements of his youthful variations. $750.

3. Maris 3X5. This one is clean, perfect and you're not going to find a more blazing Maris autograph out there. $550.

4. Gil Hodges 3X5. He certainly took his time on this one. Couldn't ask for a nicer example. $800.

5. Russ Hodges 3X5. Not always the easiest to find, especially on a 3X5. Bold, vintage fountain pen autograph. The signature itself can't be improved upon. $800.

Everything is guaranteed to pass inspection by PSA/DNA or full refund of purchase price will be given. Just so as not to leave this hanging in the air forever, I will offer a fair 90 days on that from date of purchase. I will venture that they likely would not encapsulate the single signed album page for obvious reasons. They would be more apt to issue a LOA so that clearer note of the issues could be made.
