Glossy 8 x 10 photo of a young Mantle, wearing his #6 uniform, 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. In fine condition. Auction LOA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
