This wonderful William Jacobellis photograph captures a young Mickey Mantle in only his second big league season in 1952. The setting is pregame batting practice in a sun-drenched Yankee Stadium. Mickey gives the photographer a classic batting pose, the smile on his face showing every bit the excitement and energy of how it must have felt to be young and a New York Yankee in the 1950s. The Type 1 photo measures 4-1/8" x 5" and has been printed to its edges. “Mickey Mantle” and a catalog number are in white along the bottom edge. The back has the William Jacobellis stamp along with a handwritten check mark. Condition is NM-MT with hardly any flaws to speak of. A super early image of The Commerce Comet and the only known example of this beautiful Jacobellis image. The photo has been encapsulated Type 1 by PSA/DNA.
