(LOT 85)
1964 Topps#50 Autographed Mickey Mantle PSA/DNA Encapsulated

Mickey Mantle would enjoy his last great season in 1964, with his 30 round trippers and 111 runs batted in leading the Yankees to "The Mick's" final World Series appearance. It was in that Fall Classic that Mantle would shatter Babe Ruth's all-time mark of 15 World Series home runs when he blasted a game-winning homer in the bottom of the ninth in game three. Mantle would eventually wallop two more round trippers in the Yankees 7-game losing effort, finishing his career with a still standing record of 18 World Series home runs. With that in mind, his 1964 Topps card presented here has been neatly signed "Mickey Mantle" in bold blue sharpie directly across his pinstripe uniform. True, the card itself reflects some stray creases and rounded corners, but it is the bold and aesthetically pleasing autograph that steals the show. It is no secret that autographed baseball cards of legendary Cooperstown Inductees are currently fetching staggering figures, with this 1964 fan favorite seldom surfacing with Mantle's highly coveted script!
