Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2019
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/26/2019
Dated a mere two months after being crowned a World Series champion as a rookie with the New York Yankees in 1951, we have an original Mickey Mantle media photo, with this desirable specimen featuring a 20-year old Mick hunting. At approx 6 ¼” x 8” and pictured presumably returning from a successful hunting excursion, Mickey is all smiles, brandishing a shotgun, with the photo possibly taken at his parent’s home in Commerce. The date of “Dec 15 1951” has been stamped over the reverse along with “Bulldog”, with “Mickey Mantle” handwritten in pencil along with a few other notations. A number of surface wrinkles are visible, with all four corners sharp and defined, with a bit of toning to the reverse. Original early photos of Mickey are rare, especially specimens hailing from his rookie season.
