Mickey Mantle was one of the first men to charge premium prices for his autograph. When the big signature boom exploded, Mantle preferred to sign baseballs and photos and didn't pen his identity to bats and jerseys often. This "Mitchell & Ness" pinstriped classic is signed by Mantle in 10/10 black felt tip marker near the interlocking "NY" on front. Mantle also added "No. 7" to his impeccable penning. The jersey resembles what Mantle wore his rookie season as a 1951 Golden Anniversary patch resides on the left sleeve. All of the identifiers are sewn-on. This is a limited edition numbered 262 of 536. Authenticated by Upper Deck Authenticated (UDA) with their hologram affixed to the item, as well as accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
