Mickey Mantle One-Of-A-Kind Autograph Hits Auction Block, ‘These Pens Suck’

“THESE PENS SUCK”

While there’s no shortage of Mickey Mantle autographs in the marketplace, there’s truly a unique item on the auction block at Lelands … a 14″ x 20″ cardstock signed 99 times by the MLB legend, which includes a special message about the crappy writing implement he used for his John Hancocks!!

Number 7, one of the greatest baseball players to ever step foot on a diamond, signed his famous Mickey Mantle autograph decades ago for a buddy who operated a company that sold statues.

Mantle, using a black felt fine tip marker, signed his name on the cardstock 46 times … before calling an audible (we know, wrong sport).

“THESE PENS SUCK” … the slugger wrote with an arrow pointing at his previous signature.

Then, seemingly not missing a beat, Mickey continued signing his name 53 more times … 99 times in total.

FYI, Mantle was known as a perfectionist who had immaculate handwriting. Just look at the photo … beautiful penmanship.

Now, the special item is available for bidding on the auction block … but it won’t come cheap. Although the starting point was $10K, the item will ultimately sell for exponentially more.

In fact, the cardstock has already been bid on 37 times, with the price already sitting at $70K.

Mantle, a 20-time All-Star and three-time AL MVP who won seven World Series, passed away in 1995 at the age of 63. Mickey signed a bunch, especially later in life … but, good luck finding a better backstory than the one behind these autographs.

Good luck!!!
