Encapsulated and Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA, this full ticket was issued at Yankee Stadium for Game 4 of the 1956 World Series between the Brooklyn Dodgers and host Yankees. With a stranglehold on baseball supremacy from the 1920s onward, the Yankees had been powered by different leaders and casts, few of whom wowed the Bronx faithful like Mickey Mantle. Established as the heir to DiMaggio’s center field throne, Mantle enjoyed the definitive season of his career in ‘56, garnering Triple Crown and MVP plaudits as his Yanks secured their 17th World Series title. The offered ticket is a most appropriate heirloom with inherent value as both a full voucher from the seventh and final Brooklyn-Bronx series and a Mantle World Series home run collectible, as he delivered career Fall Classic home run number 7 that day. While a mounting remnant on the reverse prevents higher technical assessment, this October prize presents beautifully with sharp edges, sturdy rounded corners, printed seating/event details and colorful Yankee “top hat” logos.
