Is that the interesting back story? He signed it for a guy who ran a business selling sports statues with little signatures on them?

No offense, but would have to be a whole lot more interesting than that.
I believe the interesting part is that this company possibly provided Mantle with a pen that he deemed inadequate for the job.

What type of licensed major sports statue company would do such a thing? Imagine the internal turmoil raging within Mickey as a result of such thoughtlessness!
