Mickey Mantle autographed ball - Ted Williams autographed ball
Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>EDIT TO SAY: On eBay starting tonight.<br /><br />What I find interesting (and part of the reason I am selling these as a pair)... is that Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams agreed to share the sweet spot on each ball (500 HR show in Atlantic City, late 80s I believe).... that is why Ted Williams signed on the upper portion of the sweet spot, and Mickey Mantle signed on the lower portion of the sweet spot.<br /><br />Just find it very cool that the autographs come with a story of mutual respect or courtesy given by Mickey and Williams for each other.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.internetville.com/stuff/MantleWilliams.jpg"><br /><br /><br />I personally was there to watch Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams sign each of the balls at the 500-HR card show in Atlantic City. I just recently got them authenticated by James Spence, so they come with a Letter of Authentication.<br /><br />First come first served.<br /><br /><br />my current want list for trades:<br />--1914 Cracker Jack Walter Johnson<br />--T206 Cy Young<br />--E92 or similar horizontal Christy Mathewson<br />--A cool Ty Cobb card
