Mantle Glove Offer

Postby AkBandit » October 3rd, 2010, 4:03 am

I've been looking through the 1999 Sotheby's auction catalog of the Barry Halper Collection of Baseball Memorabilia that took place in September 1999. The following is a 29.5 inch X 19.5 inch advertising poster offering a Mantle ball and a Rawlings MM6 glove for $5.95 with a tune-up. There was no listing for what year the offer was in. The poster is autographed by Mantle and says"Barry, Now you know why I led the league in errors at Joplin at S.S., Mickey Mantle"

Does that mean Mickey didn't think too much of the MM6?

The MM6 Professional sold for $12.95 in 1959 and the MM6 "The Comet" sold for $15.95 in 1960.

The poster was framed and matted and sold for $7,475 at auction.
