Doug,
I love that Mantle 1st HR scorecard. Very cool!
Just curious, do you also own a ticket to this game?
Best,
Scott

Thanx Scott. I agree, that's one of my favorite scorecards. I also have first career HR scorecards for Aaron, Mays, Killebrew, Stargell, Snider, Frank Howard, Cepeda, Hodges, Berra & Richie Allen.

I don't have a ticket for that game, I don't collect tickets per se, but I do have a bunch that have come with the programs / scorecards that I have collected.

I think my earliest stub for a Mantle played game is June 17, 1951. I think my earliest Mantle HR stub is April 21, 1954 where he hit #2 for the season, which was #59 of his career.

Wow, Doug! That's a terrific collection of first HR game scorecards to own.
Nice job!

Thank you Scott. Scored scorecards have turned into my new passion, as new (to me) Baseball Magazine supplements become harder to find.

Getting back on topic, here is the opening day 1951 program where Mantle made his ML debut, got his first hit, scored his first run, had his first RBI, etc.

I'm curious what you autograph guys think about the the two pencil "autographs" I found on inside pages.

Doug,

And here is Mickey getting that first hit.

Here are two Mantle items from my collection.

This was autographed by the Mick at the National in the mid 80s. I am afraid to clean the glove too much, autograph a little hard to read due to the dark leather, but I am glad I still had him sign this old glove that I picked up at garage sale for $5.

I posted a couple negatives I picked up of Mick's last at bat over on the April Vintage Pick Ups list. I didn't see this thread until after I posted them. Rather than have two conversations going on I will defer to that thread.

I didn't know Jimmy, but I like the idea of bumping some of his past threads in his honor. Good call Ben.

The 1947 Whiz Kids, featuring a 16-year-old Mickey Mantle on his first pro team (semi-pro). This is an original photo that was given to the players. It was owned by Guy Crow, the batboy, who is sitting on the left end of the right bench. There are a few signatures in addition to Mantle's, but they are hard to make out.
