I did it...Mickey Mantle autograph
For the longest time now, I've wanted to add a Mickey Mantle autograph to my collection, and I told myself that if I did it would be a nice one I with certification that I could display somewhere....well, here it is! This is just the eBay link of the auction, but I will definitely be sure to upload actual pictures when it comes in. Any feedback is definitely welcome! Thanks!!!!!

Beautiful litho and it's a perfect signature, too! Congrats!
Perhaps this is jumping the gun a little, since you don't have the piece in hand, but why did the framer find it necessary to partially block the last couple of letters of Mantle's sig. Just wondering ... Mitch
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Congrats on the amazing pick up!
I am always amazed at the fact so many beautiful Mantle autos go for around that price while "cut auto cards" (which in my opinion are much less appealing) tend to demand a much higher price..
Great pick up!

I saw he did that too. I'm definitely going to be take it out of that frame and get a different one that can show the whole thing off!
Thanks for all the nice comments everyone, it was a tough decision to finally pull the trigger on it!
