Description: Mickey Mantle single signed baseball with rare expletive inscription. Rawlings B.Brown Official American League baseball has been signed "Mickey Mantle" across the sweetspot in ink rating 7/8 out of 10. The first name did not take well with the pen Mantle chose and it appears that he picked up another, partially going over a few faint letters. He has inscribed "Fu%@ed-up!" below, a rarely seen expletive written directly in his hand. An included letter of provenance from a well known attorney who facilitated many Mantle signings relays that he and Mickey were having a conversation about the differences between fine and medium point pens. After Mantle saw the imperfections in this signature he added the inscription below thus leaving no question as to his thoughts on the quality of this particular autograph. The only baseball we have seen signed in this particular manner by The Mick. Includes letter of provenance and full LOA from JSA: EX/MT-NMEstimated Price Range: ($3,000-$5,000)
