Just a little bit of history. Mantle hated Joe D. One of the things he despised him for was, his rule that he would not go to an old timers game without being announced as the greatest living ball player. Of course the catch in center field that cost him to be injured throughout his career.

+1 on authenticity. Not sure about $3K value but in today's world with that inscription I would not be surprised at any price it got in a major auction. Maybe much more than $3K in the right setting.
