This atmospheric shot captures the Mick being greeted by teammates after one of his 536 round trippers. While one can find Type 1 photos of Mickey Mantle at bat, and even some of him in the process of hitting a home run, precious few depict the Yankees slugger’s home run trot and return to home plate. Certainly this example taken somewhere in the late 1950s or 60s on the road is among the best. The Type 1 photo is printed on doubleweight (double thickness) stock and is oversize (almost 8.5" x 11"). The image has been printed to its edges and shows nice contrast and toning throughout. The reverse of the photo has a credit stamp and the title “Home Run #7!” Very high quality vintage photograph from PIX Magazine and most likely one of kind image. Encapsulated Type 1 by PSA/DNA.
