Yep it is his retirement photo. I was mainly worried about the "ic" part of Mickey and the 1965 inscription.

I ended up buying both.

But he retired in 1968. Was originally looking to retire in 1965? He probably should have considering the way his last couple of years went.

The "c" doesn't have as much of a curve as what I'm used to, although I know sometimes Mantle signed like that.

There was a Mickey Mantle Day in September, 1965.
I was there as a 9 year old. I guess they knew his best
days were behind him.
