Not even the great Babe Ruth could eclipse Mickey Mantle's astronomical record of 18 World Series home runs. It's hard to overstate the difficulty in compiling a collection quite like this one - a magnificent lot of 18 World Series ticket stubs, one corresponding to each of The Mick's record-setting dingers. The tickets average VG to EX condition, and include: 1) 1952 Game 6. 2) 1952 Game 7. 3) 1953 Game 2. 4) 1953 Game 5. 5) 1955 Game 3. 6) 1956 Game 1. 7) 1956 Game 4. 8) 1956 Game 5. 9) 1957 Game 3. 10-11) 1958 Game 2 (2). 12-13) 1960 Game 2 (2). 14) 1960 Game 3. 15) 1963 Game 4. 16) 1964 Game 3. 17) 1964 Game 6. 18) 1964 Game 7. For the record, Babe hit 15 WS round-trippers, and Yogi Berra is next with 12 - no current player has more than seven, and this lot represents a unique tribute to a record that may not ever be broken.
