Lot 23 Z4107 — Mickey Mantle — Baseball Slugger "Holding Bats" Limited Cachet Variety — 7/15/06

This is the first time this cachet has been in my mail sales. Mantle is regarded by many to be the best switch-hitting slugger in baseball history. He played center field for the New York Yankees from 1951 to 1968 and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974. "The Mick" was elected to the Major League Baseball All-Century Team in 1999. This one has a super pictorial first day of issue postmark showing a hitter and canceled in the Bronx, New York — site of Yankee Stadium. An opportunity.
