Featured here is a special grouping of seven signed and inscribed baseballs with unique notations about Yankees Hall of Fame slugger Mickey Mantle. Four are singled signed and two of the multi-signed include Mantle. Autographs and notations are on well-conditioned official big-league balls are done very neatly, mostly in high-grade boldness.
1) OAL (Brown) triple-signed ball with Mickey Mantle (gorgeous 9/10 in blue ballpoint on sweet spot), Jim Lonborg (who notated "536th HR 9/20/68" to denote the last HR of Mantle's career), and Bob Gibson (5-6/10 blue), who surprisingly was willing to inscribe "18th WS HR 10/15/64" in honor of The Mick's record-breaking World Series dinger in Game 7 of the '64 Fall Classic. Ball in NM shape ia hand-numbered "27/74". All three signatures and inscriptions have been certified by PSA/DNA (S06684) with sticker.
2) Phil Rizzuto single-signed OAL (Budig) black-stitched Mickey Mantle logo-stamped baseball inscribed "'Holy Cow', Mickey was the strongest and fastest in the game" on the sweet spot. Rizzuto's signature with "Scooter" and "HOF 94" inscriptions are on the south panel. All done in 8/10 blue ink. Ball lightly toned (EX/EX-MT).
3) Bob Feller single-signed OML (Selig) baseball inscribed "I struckout Mickey Mantle" in 9/10 blue ink on sweet spot. Unidentified hologram sticker on Rawlings label.
4) Duke Snider single-signed OML (Selig) baseball inscribed "Mickey Mantle was great!" on sweet spot in 9/10 blue ballpoint. Hand-numbered "9/24" with ELITE hologram sticker.
5) Luit Tiant single-signed OML (Selig) baseball inscribed "Mantle's Last Hit" on sweet spot in 7/10 blue ballpoint. MLB Authentication hologram (BB724836). Additional IRONCLAD hologram sticker.
6) Jim Lonborg and Randy Gumpert dual-signed OAL (Budig) black-stitched Mickey Mantle logo-stamped baseball. Inscribed "Mantle's 536th HR 9/20/68" by Jim Lonborg and "Mantle's 1st ML HR 5-1-'51" by Gumpert. Both done in 8-9/10 blue ballpoint on sweet spot and west panel.
7) OML (Selig) ball signed and intricately inscribed by 8 players: Stu Miller "I gave up Mantle's 500th HR on May 14th 1967" on sweet spot; Paul Foytack "I gave Mantles longest measured Home Run 9-10-60" on east panel; Bill Fischer "I gave up Mantle 734est [sic] HR 5-22-63" on west panel; Jim Bunning "I gave up Mantles 200 HR on 7/26/57" on west panel; Barney Schultz "I gave up Mantle's 16th W.S. HR 10-10-64" on south panel; Luis Tiant "I gave up Mantle's last hit 9-25-68" on south panel; Andy Kosco "I replaced M. Mantle in his last game 9/28/68" in north panel; Jim Lonborg "I gave up Mantle's last HR #536 9-20-68" and "Last pitcher to face Mantle 9-28-68" on north panel.
