(LOT 731)
Sensational c.Mid-1960s Signed Mickey Mantle Official N.L. Giles Baseball – PSA/DNA & Beckett LOAs

While finding a Mickey Mantle autographed baseball is no difficult task, locating one with aa bold circa mid-1960's signature on an Official N.L. Giles baseball is a near-impossible endeavor! A majority of the vast Mickey Mantle signed baseballs originate from the mid-1970s thru the early 1990s, the period in which Mantle signed a seemingly infinite number of horsehide spheres. That is why esteemed collectors actively pursue locating a Mantle signed Official ball from his pre-1969 playing days, with these vintage scripted offerings few and far between. Presented here just happens to be one of those obscure Mantle signed balls from his playing days, a sensational Warren Giles Official N.L. baseball autographed by Mantle on the sweet spot in extremely bold blue ink.

Imposing to say the least, the circa mid-1960's Mickey Mantle signature stands as one of the boldest Mantle autographs we have ever seen on a baseball, presenting itself in "9/10" strength! The Giles baseball is likewise brilliant, retaining its original pristine-like black stampings as well as a majority of its factory issued snow white horsehide surface and tight red stitching. Only a few diminutive toning spots exist on the upper north panel, none of which diminish the incredible eye appeal of this monumental Mantle keepsake that truly resides as one of his finest single-signed baseballs!
