One of the most prolific hitters to ever pull on the Yankee pinstripes, Mickey Mantle won 3 American League MVP Awards over the course of his career, along with the Triple Crown in 1956. Presented here, this this quartet of items signed by the Yankee legend. The group is led off with a photo measuring approx. 7 ¼” x 4 ¾” showing “The Mick” early in his Major League career. In good condition, Mantle has signed over his image with a crisp blue ink signature that displays without issue. Next up, is a postcard titled “Mickey at Night” distributed by Sports Impressions Inc. Featuring a bio and career stats on the back, the 4” x 6” card has been signed by Mantle with a “Best Wishes” inscription above the blue marker ink auto that shows well. Rounding out the group of signed offerings, is a pair of Life Magazines circa 1961 and 1965. One cover shows Mantle with Maris during the home run drama from the Summer of 61’ and the other, a solo headshot of Mickey. Both magazines remain complete and display well, with light-to-moderate wear. Mantle has penned bold blue marker ink signatures over his cover images with both displaying without issue. Lastly, an unsigned Life Magazine with Mantle on the cover is also included. From June 25, 1956, the publication remains in good condition. A JSA Auction LOA will accompany the collection.
