Link to auction
Gorgeous photo, and although I'm not even a newbie in the field, I think the high price was due to a confluence of a few factors... 1. early, recognizable, type I Mickey Mantle photo 2. connection to the regional cards and yearbooks, as mentioned 3. Henry Yee auction 4. described as being a "one-of-a-kind" exemplar 5. originated from the Stevens collection

Mantle Type I Photo
Quote:
I would have an interest in this Mantle pic either as a photo collector or as a Mantle collector as it is a truly iconic photo. However, I was not the winner. Z Wheat

The Mantle pic I use for my avatar was the back cover of the 1953 Dell Annual. I don't think I've ever seen the photo ever used since!
Has anyone ever seen it anywhere else?

Fred, I very much appreciated your posting an enlarged view of your avatar image of Mickey Mantle. I've noticed it often, and wondered where it came from. Now I know. I agree with you, the picture seems unique; I do not recall seeing it on anything else. Mickey Mantle's smile would melt your heart. This image of a very young and intent Mr. Mantle concentrating on something is moving, too.
We all have imaginations. Mick's expression says to me he's in the dugout looking at the pitcher who just struck him out. He's in a competitive rage. His infamous glare of hate. Studying the pitcher, thinking about what he threw him, Mick decides, "he gives me that same pitch again, I'm gonna hit it where his head is, and he'll swallow his tobacco chaw as he ducks for his life!!!!!!!" It's fun to envision our heroes in action! Anyway, thanks again Fred for posting your Mick pix. ---Brian Last edited by brian1961; 02-05-2014 at 01:57 AM.
