Admittedly, I find the sign to be pretty cool and wouldn't mind owning one my self.

My initial though was that it was an original street sign from Commerce (there is both a Mickey Mantle Blvd, and A North Mickey Mantle Blvd)..

I then did some additional digging... It appears that they sold these 1 month after Mickey's death... They were apparently sold for fundraising purposes by the city of commerce (OK City bombin?)... They were each sold with a raised seal numbered certificate from the City of Commerce. The two that I found were numbered 400 & 1102 respectively, so my guess is that they sold a run of 1500 or so...

The primary difference between the ones sold for charity and the originals that were mounted to street poles is that the ones mounted to Poles have a period (.) at the end of blvd, the ones sold do not..

They also seem to lack he traditional upper and lower lip that you commonly find on street signs...

Very cool sign, but it doesn't look like they hold a ton of value.
