A true rarity as this key-shaped paper photographer's credential from the middle three games of the 1956 World Series is the only one known to exist. Shows decent use with brown marks around the edges and most prominently on the left side. Rated authentic by PSA, the badge is relatively free of any edging/fraying and contains its original string, which has yellowed with age. It is likely this pass was on display while Don Larsen threw his Game 5 Perfect Game, as well as when Mickey Mantle slugged his seventh and eighth career World Series home runs. As per usual, the Yankees edged their Subway rivals in seven games to capture their 17th championship, proving their one loss to Brooklyn a year earlier was an outlier.
