Now that's funny!!

Just in case someone reads that & thinks The Mick was serious, check out what he wrote about Mays in his book. He was very complimentary.

Seems strange that there's no explanation as to how and when it was acquired... and also that the last feedback for the seller is dated December '05.

He also sells White Van Speakers, that usually means he is honest. There was a guy at a show in Roanoke with a questionable ungraded 51 Mantle. The sig looks pretty good, but when has mick ever been afraid to write the F word?

I highly doubt Mantle would have ever signed a card like that.

I agree, Mantle was never afraid to write anything.

In books, commentaries, etc both had always been complimentary to each other. But, get them in a more comfortable place and the insults would fly. Before Mantle died, Mays would refuse to sign anything already signed by Mantle. He was a real pr*ck about that. Today, Mays will do it cuz his white nemesis is no longer around for him to whine about.

Can anyone email me the Mantle "Have a ball" and letter pic?

<< <i>I highly doubt Mantle would have ever signed a card like that. >>

Are you serious?

Mickey signed some dirty, dirty things haha. We should start a collection of funny stuff The Mick wrote on autos.

There was an article in Tuff Stuff or Sports Cards Magazine 10-12 years ago about racisim in baseball cards, why Mantle's cards will always be worth more than Mays. I think I have it somewhere or at least I did have it.

If that thing is real I'd sure like to own it.

rpcoletrane · February 1, 2008 10:09AM

Id say it is real guys. I saw a picture signed by Mickey that was PSA/DNA authenticated that said "To ???, the craziest son of a bit*h I ever knew!! Mickey Mantle"
