Addendum: Heading and starting bid have been adjusted from catalog.

Very nice signed and inscribed Mickey Mantle ball here. Mickey did not add inscriptions very often (other than maybe his No. 7). The slightly off-white OAL (Brown) baseball has the Yankee legend's autograph on the sweet spot with "Best Wishes" beautifully inscribed. The blue ballpoint signature rates 8/10 in our book. According to PSA/DNA there is evidence of a signature being removed but the ball certainly presents as a single-signed.

Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
