Crown Holiday 2020 Auction

2018 Leaf Executive Collection Masterpiece Mickey Mantle Early Rookie Era Autograph and Teammates Signatures Throughout his playing career, getting an authentic Mickey Mantle autograph was a dream of just about every kid in America. In the early 1950’s, Mickey would occasionally sign at the ballpark and was even known to respond by mail. As is the case with his early script signatures, like the one presented in this auction, these exemplars are very hard to find. It’s like a coin collector finding a Mercury dime in circulation. They’re out there, but they are scarce and truly a rarity. This beautiful 2018 Leaf Trading Cards Executive Masterpiece product contains an authentic early career 1952 Mantle “rookie era” autograph as well as signatures of Mickey’s teammates Johnny Mize and Yogi Berra along with Yankee team trainer Gus Mauch.
