NOTES: |
| This is
a Mickey Mantle Autograph signed on an 8 x 10 Photo. This autograph was obtained in
person at a signing in the late 80s at a baseball card
show in Brooklyn, and I witnessed the signing, so if you are using it to compare to
one you are purchasing feel safe that it is authentic.
At the Show signing with Mickey was Reggie Jackson.
Jackson was getting $10. and Mickey was getting $15.
Wow! That was top $ back then. Keep in mind that autographs can vary slightly. If a
ball player signs 1000 autographs, the first one might
be slightly different than the 1000th. so look for
certain characteristics. Also Like in the case Of Mickey
Mantle his Autograph is different at the beginning of
his carrier than it was later in his life. The bottom Mickey
Mantle autograph sample pictured above was
authenticated by James Spence (JSA), and is signed on a
baseball. You can pick
up a Mantle Autograph anywhere between $75 - $150 but
must be careful of fraudulent Autographs. One of the
most sought after Autographs, there are plenty out
there. That is why you pay top dollar for a autographs
done by Upper deck, whom Mantle had a contract with.
with the upper deck Hologram you could pay as much as
$300. for an 8x10, $4.500 for a signed Bat, but you can
get lucky and Find one for under $1,000. Mantle did sign
a lot of autographs.
TIP!
Don't Forget to keep your
Autographs Away from a lot of Light, especially sun
light! Even reflected sun light will take its toll. Autographs on Baseballs signed in Ink
(blue ball point pen) have
proven to hold up better than Sharpie. Also be aware of
team signed balls from the old days, in that on occasions,
Club house people sometimes signed for a player that was
not present. These autographs are collectible too, but
not the real deal.
