Lot Essay

Partially toned W.White National League baseball singed by Mantle across the sweet spot in blue ink adding uncommon inscription, "He was safe asshole!" to the top panel. The inscription was a light hearted reference to a play at third base in which Mantle slid into Brooks Robinson and was called out. Signature and inscription rate 8 out of 10. Ball itself has some partial light age toning to a few areas. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA (8 NM-MT): Ball: VG-EX, Signature: NM-MT
