Boy, the graders at PSA/DNA were tough on this one - our consignor received the signature in person in the late 1980's and immediately put the ball back in its original box, and never to be opened until it arrived at PSA/DNA for grading. Beautifully and boldly signed in blue ball point pen on the sweet spot of a Rawlings Official American League baseball, this near perfect Mickey Mantle signature jumps off of the background of the snow white ball. The ball has been given the overall grade of 8.5 from PSA/DNA while the signature grades a MINT 9. Only a tiny spot of toning caused the condition of the ball to be slightly decreased. If you have always wanted a beautiful single signed baseball of Mickey Mantle this ball is the one to add to your collection. Comes with LOA from PSA/DNA.
