Mickey Mantle remains one of the most iconic ballplayers in the MLBs history and is certainly a focal point to serious collectors in the hobby. While his baseball card seems to remain at the top collector's pursuits, his game worn and game used items continue to prosper in the industry.
Presented here is an authentic 1954 Mickey Mantle New York Yankees worn jacket remaining in excellent condition. The cold-weather jacket produced by Rawlings features a large Yankees "NY" logo on the left chest of the jacket. The number "7" is stitched in on the front left pocket, denoting the player's number. A size 42 (appropriate for Mantle) Rawlings tag is sewn on the inside of the jacket as well. This Rawlings tagging style is specific to the years 1953-1956.
The jacket shows evidence of wear that would be expected for a jacket that was worn several times. There are loose threads throughout the stitching and two buttons missing on the front.
The jacket is accompanied by a letter from Mickey Mantle dated 1987, which states that the jacket was issued to him in the NY Yankees 1954 World Championship season. It had been in the possession of his longtime friend, Dr. Marshall L. Ishmael.
The signature on the Letter of Provenance from Mantle has been authenticated by JSA. An image of Mickey Mantle and Dr. Ishmael with the jacket is also included with the lot.
Accompanied by a full LOA from Sports Investors Authentication.
