(LOT 669)
1958 YOO-HOO Mickey Mantle Matchbook Cover - Cap Offer PSA 2 GD "RARE"

RARE MANTLE!!! Offered here is a 1958 Yoo-Hoo Matchbook Cover "Cap Offer" variety of Mickey Mantle in a PSA 2 holder. Printed by the Chicago Match Company, this Cover showcases the classic 1950's advertising logos for Yoo-Hoo, "The Chocolate Drink of Champions". Pictured on the front is a portrait of Mantle inside a bottle cap drawing as well as a bottle of Yoo-Hoo Chocolate Drink.

On the reverse is an offer for collectors to mail the Matchbook Cover to Yoo-Hoo with $2 for an Autographed cap of a New York Yankee. Luckily, this Matchbook Cover was never redeemed or thrown away, as most of them undoubtedly were. Consider only 20 of these have ever been submitted to PSA, which creates a very RARE MANTLE keepsake. This PSA 2 example offered here looks better than the offered grade, but despite its grade it is nevertheless a very RARE MANTLE collectible. This 62 year old Yoo-Hoo Matchbook belongs next to your favorite MICKEY MANTLE cards.

MIN BID $200
