Signature evaluated Authentic by PSA/DNA and holdered with a ("9") autograph grade. This breathtaking 1953 Topps Baseball #82 Mickey Mantle is among the "best of the best" of all signed material representing the Hall of Famer. The centered blue Sharpie endorsement spans the width of the cardboard surface and traces from just above the nameplate through "The Mick"s" shoulder and flows seamlessly atop the Yankees logo to the right boundary. A near flawless example placed on a canvas which technically grades (FR) due to a combination of perimeter wear and reverse flaking on the upper right corner. Despite any cardboard wear, the overall presentation of this ultra high-grade autograph renders any surface flaw inconsequential. Flip provenance from the Bill Wilen Collection.
