Mickey Mantle – Signed Book “All My Octobers”
Yankees Legend – 7× World Series Champion & Triple Crown Winner
This is an authentic, signed first edition of Mickey Mantle’s All My Octobers (HarperCollins, 1994), signed boldly in blue ballpoint ink on the title page. The autograph is strong and clean, signed across the printed title “All My Octobers,” creating a striking visual balance.
Accompanying the book are provenance materials, including:
-
An original photograph showing Mantle at a book signing event (Dayton’s Department Store, Minneapolis, June 23, 1994) — a documented public appearance late in his life.
-
A newspaper advertisement announcing the event, featuring Mantle holding a copy of All My Octobers and providing the event details.
-
Additional candid photographs from the signing, showing Mantle greeting attendees and personalizing copies.
These supporting items confirm the authenticity and add extraordinary narrative context — a rare combination in Mantle memorabilia.
About Mickey Mantle:
Mantle’s 1994 memoir All My Octobers is an introspective and emotional reflection on his storied postseason career — twelve World Series appearances with the Yankees dynasty. The timing of the book, published just one year before his passing, makes signed copies among the last Mantle autographs ever obtained in person.

Collector’s Note:
This signed All My Octobers is one of the most verifiable and personal Mantle autographs possible. The supporting photographs and newspaper advertisement elevate it from a signed book to a documented encounter, connecting your collection directly to the legend himself.
Because this autograph was obtained at a known event during Mantle’s final public signing circuit, it carries premium provenance value and ranks among the most desirable forms of Mantle memorabilia outside of his vintage baseballs and jerseys.
