Autographs of Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Duke Mass, 9 More 1960 NY Yankees.
Lot 234. Autographs of Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Duke Mass, 9 More 1960 NY Yankees. The signatures are on a 4” x 5” section of paper taped to a heavier card. Besides Mantle, Ford and Maas, the page is signed by John Blanchard, Bill Short, Fred Kipp, Elmer Valo, Eli Grba, Ralph Terry, Frank Crosetti, Art Ditmar and Ryne Duren. The Valo signature in pencil is nm 7. The others are nm-m 8 to gem mint 10. The Mantle and Ford autographs are among the strongest. Valo’s signature in a Yankees’ context is unusual; he played for New York in only eight games. Maas is a relatively tough autograph; he passed away in 1976. The autograph page has tape that barely touches the Maas and Short autographs and has a slightly greater impact on Ditmar’s and Duren’s. One corner is chipped, and the pages shows several folds and a tear that affects Terry’s autograph. Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Winning Bid $113.
