Collection of six film negatives, each capturing Mickey Mantle during his 1951 rookie season. Two of the negatives picture Mantle posing with DiMaggio, two picture him posing with Casey Stengel, and another pictures him posing alone while holding two bats. The negatives are housed in vintage paper sleeves, all of which are dated 1951, including one marked Apr. 15 1951, which was two days prior to Mantle's Major League debut. While we cannot confirm the dates on the sleeves, the American League 50th Anniversary patch on the sleeves of all the jerseys shown here conclusively date the images to 1951. Each negative measures 5x4 inches and is in Very Good to Excellent condition. Please note: the positive images seen on our website are for illustrative purposes only and do not accompany the negatives; only the negatives are offered in this lot.
