Mickey Mantle 1969 Pin

Gonblott

This pin was a given out at Yankee Stadium when the Mick made his farewell speech on June 8th 1969. Pin bottom says copyright Sports Magazine April 1969, please look at the scans for more detail. The PIN is MINT and not bent or rusted (some scans are a little fuzzy but tried my best), pin is not loose on the back but in MINT condition. A buddy of mine sold this pin for $125 about 7 years ago at a local auction house, anyone have any idea how much its worth now? Thinking of selling it on eBay or the boards but need to know the current value first.

Gonblott, I just bought one last week that is in mint cond. except a little rust on the back. I won it on ebay for $9.99.
Hope this helps.

Gonblott

Thanks for the advice. I love this board!

My sister gave me one of those.

I have a fear that they were reproduced with the copyright and everything?

There's just too many of those around in superior shape IMO.

Here's another unusual one that I got somewhere - perhaps from my sister also?

I saw the Mick at Paramus Park - I've been to the Mall - hard to believe this one would be reproduced?

Mike is absolutely right, these have been reproduced greatly. I'm sure an expert can tell you the differences but I can't.
