The epitome of an all-time American idol, Mickey Mantle served as the model every boy dreamed of being, with his early passing in 1995 bringing sorrow throughout the baseball world. Registering a slash line of .353/.464/.705 in 1956 as the Mick won his first of three (3) American League MVP Award's and the New York Yankees won the World Series over the Brooklyn Dodgers, offered here is this June 18th, 1956 "The Year of the Slugger" Sports Illustrated replica cover of Mantle in a Yankees-esque blue hue colour way that has been signed by the 1974 Baseball Hall of Fame inductee. Measuring roughly 8" x 10 1/2" and displayed under a foam white coloured matte to full dimensions of 11" x 14", Mantle has signed the bottom right hand corner of the print with a bold black ink signature that displays beautiful and remains in wonderful condition with just the lightest touch of fading. Remaining in an overall excellent condition with just very light wear to the corners and edges of the matting, an Upper Deck hologram numbered "AAM24625" is affixed under the autograph and is accompanied by a matching UDA COA.
