Mickey Mantle – Autographed Color Portrait

New York Yankees #7 – “The Commerce Comet”

This beautiful framed photograph features Mickey Mantle, one of baseball’s most iconic figures, in his familiar Yankees pinstripes during the 1950s. Mantle is pictured in a relaxed batting pose — bat on shoulder, blue sky behind him, and a confident expression that epitomized the Yankee dynasty era.

Signed boldly in blue felt-tip pen, Mantle’s autograph reads:

“Mickey Mantle No. 7”

The signature is clean, large, and perfectly placed across his jersey — a prime example of Mantle’s well-known signing style from the 1980s and early 1990s.
