Reserve: $300.00
Winning Bid: $324.48
Price Realized: $387.75
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

Realizing how much profit there was in Mantle memorabilia, the Mick smartly began selling such memorabilia, as well as that of other players, through his own Dallas-based "Mickey Mantle Collectors Club" in the '80s. The Club put out a regular newsletter, the 1st issue of which, dated January 1985, is offered here along with a list of "holiday special" sales items and a thank-you form letter to a member in Pennsylvania that was actually signed by Mickey in sharp blue ink, grading NRMT status. Mantle also apparently addressed the enclosed envelope with the same pen. All pages NRMT with mild fold marks.
