Mickey Mantle Signed 1951 New York Yankees Rookie Game Model Jersey Beckett

Offered here is a New York Yankees jersey signed by Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle. Mickey Mantle debuted with the Yankees in 1951 as a 19-year-old, five-tool blue-chipper out of Commerce, Oklahoma. His .267 B.A., 13 H.R., and 65 R.B.I. in 96 games showed promise but didn’t confirm the predictions of greatness. That would come later. That first Mantle season the 50th of the American League remains vivid in the minds of many veteran baseball fans. This Yankees throwback jersey venerates the glory and promises that 1951 – and Mickey Mantle begat.

The pinstripe jersey features the iconic interlocking “NY” on the chest and the number “7”, both in felt. An “AMERICAN LEAGUE 1901 1950 GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY” patch rests on the left sleeve. A Mitchell & Ness tag rests on the inside collar. A Mitchell & Ness Cooperstown Collection tag rests on the left front tail. Mantle penned his flowing signature in black ink below the “NY” logo on the chest. The signature is bold, and the jersey exhibits stains across the chest. The item comes with an LOA from Beckett Authentication for the signature.
