In
1956, Harold D. Youngman approached
Mickey Mantle about leasing and
operating a Holiday Inn hotel in
Joplin, Missouri. It was agreed that
Mickey would be named the president of
the Mickey Mantle Motel Corp., the
Holiday Inn, and Youngman would be the
vice president. The hotel opened for
business on January 10, 1957. This Black & White Glossy Photo was
sold in the gift shop at the Mickey
Mantle's Holiday Inn, located at
Highway 71, 2600 Range Line Road,
Joplin Missouri. The blank backed "photocard"
features a facsimile autograph that
reads "Best Wishes Mickey Mantle"
The photo was originally used by the New York Yankees in 1957 as a mailer
to satisfy Mickey Mantle autograph
requests. Later that year, it was given
out to 1,367 youngsters accompanied by
133 adults from Newark who were treated
to a Yankee game and an "autograph
Photo" of Mickey Mantle. But, "Newark
Youth Day Yankee Stadium September 14,
1957" was added to the top left
corner.
