Upon his retirement from baseball in 1968 Mickey Mantle held an untold number of records and had more achievements under his belt than most players can dream of. This near-mint OAL MacPhail ball has not only been signed by Mickey Mantle, but the Mick has taken the time to write some of his more prominent achievements. The sweetspot reads "Mickey Charles Mantle, "The Commerce Comet", 56' 57' 62' MVP, NO.7." On the panel below Mick has written "1956 T.C." and "536 HR's." Last but not least on the panel above the sweetspot is "HOF 74." Mantle's blue ball point signature is nearly flawless rating a 9 as are each of the rare inscriptions that he has penned. The ultimate Mickey Mantle signed baseball. The autograph comes with a letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
