“Joltin’ Joe”, “The Mick” and “Teddy Ballgame” preside over this signed plaque and autographed baseball lot. The status these iconic figures have achieved is a testament to the enduring passion of Yankees and Red Sox fans. Leading the way is a single-signed Mickey Mantle (d.1995) #7 variation OAL ball. The difficult inscription coupled with the (“10”) signature strength ensures the permanent prominence of this baseball. Also signed on the sweet spot of an OAL baseball is an autograph from
Ted Williams (d.2002). Boasting a (“10”) signature quality, the endorsement of the “Splendid Splinter” spans 3” across the sparkling white canvas. Rounding out this magnificent group is a 10-1/2 x 13” plaque from Joe DiMaggio (d.1999, “10”). Noted on the display as the “Yankee Clipper”, DiMaggio attractively places his penning atop a stately batting pose. A triumph for the Hall of Fame autograph hound, this group comes with a COA from James Spence Authentications.
