Amazing 11" x 14" Mickey Mantle Signed Original Photo with a 1956 Scripted Salutation! – PSA/DNA & JSA LOAs
1956 MICK AUTO!!! This original 11" x 14" oversized photo was taken during Mickey Mantle's 1956 Triple Crown campaign, with Mantle posing with a captivated young admirer named Bob. Remarkably, The Mick autographed this imposing Yankee Stadium image in 1956, boldly personalizing it as follows: "To Bob – My Best Wishes – a Pal – Mickey Mantle". Boldly scripted in black pen, the entire salutation reveals 9/10 strength, neatly written across Mantle's classic Yankee pinstripes as the immortal Mick portrays a candid smile. We cannot even begin to imagine the ecstasy Bob felt when this signed illustration was presented to him by baseball's most powerful slugger. A "September 1956" pencil notation is written on the verso, a clear sign that Mantle autographed this photo during the final month of the season when he would ultimately claim the prized AL Triple Crown!
