Default what a photo
Tight indeed.
I am thinking of shelling out the thousand bucks that it will probably take to win that one!

Good luck if you do.
It's good thing it's encased in plastic to prevent any "damage."

Although Legendary, Lelands, Heritage and REA have had some terrific photos in past auctions, more and more Henry's consistent lineup of outstanding images from all eras and all sports (and nonsports) have offered unparalleled choices for the collector. His recent auction proved to be no exception. Most here know my passion for Mantle photos and there were some super examples in this one. I was fortunate to acquire some.

Here is one of the most significant photos of Mickey taken on April 17, 1951 (and published on April 19) during his first game in the majors and showing the sequence of swings captured as he gets the first hit of his storied career against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. To my knowledge, this is the only sequential composite of the Mick wearing #6 and is only the second example of this historic vintage image to ever surface. One can clearly see the '51 patch as well as the perfect balance and follow through of the rookie's swing.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that it also contains my avatar.

The #6 on his back is just the cherry on top of this already super sweet photo. Kill-er sequential photo of young Mickey!

Thanks horzverti - I just love the dynamics of that swing by the 19 year old phenom showing in his first base hit (a single) in his first game in the major leagues.

Here is another super image that I picked up in Henry's auction. A dynamite Type 1 portrait of The Mick taken during his favorite summer, 1956. Crystal clear with that engaging Mantle smile - just a perfect image. The mark on Mickey's forehead is part of the photo and unfortunately also part of Mickey's forehead - a scar just beginning to heal.

Lovely pick-ups, Craig!

Getting original shots from Mantle's first game isn't the easiest of things to do. And like you mentioned, I think I've only seen one other out example of this out there. I'm glad it's in the hands of such a passionate Mantle fan!
