Let's see your interesting Mickeys

In the mid 1980s, about 1884 or 85 , I believe, a couple of dealer friends of mine were going to the National in Chicago and asked me if I wanted anything signed by Mantle. I grabbed an old Mantle MM4 model glove I had recently picked up and let them take it to Chicago. They came back with Mick's Auto, but it was not easy to read. They said he took his time signing the glove, actually taking a few moments trying to decided what color felt marker to sign the glove with. Over the course of thirty years the ink has bled somewhat also. But I know he signed it and it stands out as one of my treasures.
I am afraid to clean the glove too much for fear of loosing what is left of the auto.

Thanks Mike,


I'm saving up for the final "e", since it looks like he missed it with the thick sharpie

Mantle Mantl

Pretty sure that this is my only one, so I guess that makes it my most interesting.

My sole Mantle...the only time I could have got him was at a Hofstra show and had a choice between him and Sandy Koufax. As a good little boychik, I had to go with the Left Arm of G-d!

BTW...this mitt was bought for $1 by my mom at a garage sale in the 80's. She always had a keen eye for collectibles. Mitt also has a beautiful Yaz...
