NOTES: |
This is a 1952
Mickey Mantle Fan Club celluloid pin. With fewer than five known examples, this pin is a
rare legendary collectible, both as a vintage baseball
pin back, and as a significant Mickey Mantle memorabilia
item. The
Mickey Mantle Fan Club pin holds the record at auction for any postwar baseball celluloid, when Barry Halper's example sold for $12,650 in the famous Halper auction in 1999 (Lot #1546). The pin was available for a very short time by mail only to members of
Mickey Mantle's fan club very early in his career. The
1 1/4" pin featuring a black, and white Picture of
the Young New York Yankees super Star, surrounded
by Mickey Mantle Fan Club.
