Mantle Auto Estimate - Now listed in Live Auction - Link Provided Inside
 

Back in the '80s I was invited to a private reception for Mantle's Restaurant and Sport Bar. Mick was mostly in a small roped up area chatting with Martin and others. Eventually he came out and sat behind a table with a stack of what you see below.

So, what is the value? I intend to sell but better if I can find another Paul? Measures approx 6"x4". Thanks! BTW, Sports Impressions Inc. is still around here on Long Island.

A similar but not personalized example sold recently for $86:

Seems like these personalized items can be kind of spotty. My guess would be $75-$125. Others here likely can give you a more accurate figure but that's what it seems most similar items sell for.

Hi, and thanks for the feedback. Here's the link to the Live Auctions listing:

I've noted very strong prices for Mantle personalized baseballs when they are inscribed to a common first name only. Sometimes they can go for more than unpersonalized.

Given it is personalized to a common first name, I would not be surprised if you could get more than you expect.

If I found a Mantle autograph personalized to my name, you bet I'd overpay for it.

I waited for years for a "To Ryan" Mantle to pop up, finally saw one just like the OP's, I was prepared to overpay but ended up winning it for $77 I believe.

I've sold many of the Sports Impressions cards signed by Mantle over the years, mostly on ebay. I've received $125-150, depending on the shape the card and signature were in. All of them were authenticated and slabbed. I agree with the assessment of those above, without finding another Paul, I would estimate around $100. If they trust your story of course :D

lol, story is true, as always. I have some decent cred on the "other" side of Net54 from way before my 2011 rejoin date. Went for $140. You guys over "here" are the best. Many thanks to all!
