All framed, all signed by New York Yankee Mickey Mantle - the three time American League MVP and quintessential American folk hero, these seven portrayals really give a sprawling overview of his legacy and charm, and boast seven 10/10 Sharpied autographs. 1) This group’s centerpiece is seemingly a 25 x 31” gold framed illustrative poster comparing The Mick to Don Mattingly, double-matted and signed along Mantle’s back. Poster’s title is “Yankee Tradition". 2) Brown wood framed photo of Mantle’s life-sized cut-out at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, signed across center of image, and measuring 10x12” in frame. 3) Exact same brown wood frame surrounding black & white photo of Mantle and Billy Martin, signed below his shoulders and measuring 10x12”. 4) A presentation of the back page of the New York Daily News, highlighting Old Timer’s Day with Mantle and DiMaggio pictured with caps over heart, and signed by both legends. Edition is August 10, 1969, and seemingly includes whole newspaper in black wood frame, measuring 13x17”. 5) A brown wood framed B&W photo portrait of Mantle grinning in Yankee uniform, signed across chest, and measuring 13x16”. 6) Mini-poster of movie “That Touch of Mink” starring Cary Grant, Doris Day and (with signatures) Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra. With frame measures 16x13”. 7) Circa 1952 B&W photo of Berra (signed), Mantle (signed, with slight smudge), and three other teammates. With black wood frame measures 11x9”. A very nice collection for any fan of The Commerce Comet.
