It is arguably the iconic piece of postwar baseball memorabilia, a single-signed baseball from Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle. In this instance the baseball is essentially as perfect as the 9/10 blue ballpoint Mantle signature on the sweet spot of the pristine OAL Bobby Brown ball, that instantly recognizable and attractive alliterative masterpiece of an autograph. Had there been no such thing as Mickey Mantle, Hollywood or Damon Runyon would have been hard pressed to come up with a fictional version as beloved and compelling as the real thing. The ball appears to be in essentially as-issued and problem-free condition, with a hologram from PSA/DNA affixed.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
