Satin-finish 8 x 10 photo of Mantle in his batting stance, wearing uniform number “6,” signed in blue felt tip. Mantle had briefly worn uniform number 6, as a continuation of Babe Ruth's 3, Lou Gehrig's 4, and Joe DiMaggio's 5, in 1951, but his poor performance led to his temporary demotion to a minor league in mid-season. When he returned, Bobby Brown, who had worn number 6 before Mantle, had reclaimed it, so Mantle was given number 7. Double matted and framed to an overall size of 11.5 x 13.5. In fine condition. COA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
