Mickey Mantle Signed One-of-a-Kind Ron Lewis Hand Painted OAL Baseball (JSA)

Presented here is a Mickey Mantle signed hand painted baseball painted by renowned sports artist, Ron Lewis. The Official American League Bobby Brown stamped baseball is signed by Mantle on the sweet spot. Lewis has signed with blue paint below an image of Mantle in his New York Yankees uniform against an orange sky on the baseball’s north panel. The east panel features Lewis' rendition of Mantle's famed 1952 Topps image, and the west panel features an image of Mantle posing with his 562-foot home run baseball. The south panel features an image of Mantle in a post-swing image with his number "7" jersey highlighted. The richly detailed images of Mantle are vibrant and feature eye-popping colors and detail, certainly taking many hours--and perhaps many days of dedication--to complete.

During an 11-year period beginning in 1984, Ron Lewis produced some of the most enduring sports-art collectibles in the hobby. His oil paintings of baseball, basketball, football and hockey heroes were reproduced on lithographs, postcards, trading cards, collector plates, baseballs, posters and other items that are still widely sought by collectors.

The artwork has been sourced directly from Mr. Lewis and the autograph from Mantle is accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
