Thank you, Scott and Steve. I don't usually post my pick-ups here, but this is one I've waited for on his 1962 rookie card.

Picked up a Mickey Mantle authentic variant version of his autograph and address. The Mick was writing down where he wanted a guy to send some photos that Mickey wanted.

Cool piece but it brings up a good question that may need its own thread; when is an autograph an autograph? IMO, I don't feel that an address is an autograph. Mickeys intention was to write out his name so it was clear to receiver of the address. I'm interested in others thoughts.

I don't consider that an autograph, but yes, it is his "printed name" Exceptions would be someone like Helen Keller, who as most know, could only "print her name" in block letters, due to her blindness. In that case, since she didn't sign in cursive script, that would be considered her "autograph"

Love this. I grew up in Dallas, and I knew this house well. I knew Mick lived or used to live there but never had the cajones to knock on the door.

Here's another Mantle I picked up from Stinson today. I like any authentic Mantles that don't look like the typical 80's and 90's show signature. This one is presumed to be from 1953.
