A tremendously desirable gathering of autographs from the "original" 500 Home Run Club of the 1980s, presented here is a Rawlings commemorative baseball bat, beautifully hand signed in blue felt tip marker by Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Ernie Banks, Frank Robinson, Harmon Killebrew, Willie McCovey, Hank Aaron, Reggie Jackson, Mike Schmidt and Eddie Matthews. The signatures on the bat are very fine overall, rating an "8-10" in quality. While this collection of autographs is desirable in any form, bats are particularly desirable--and undoubtedly the rarest and most valuable form--given Mantle and Williams' restriction on signing bats throughout their professional signing days. In addition to the autographs, Mickey Mantle has adding his rare home run total below his signature, a seldom seen feature on 500 home run club bats. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
