Up for bid is a rare Mickey Mantle authentic autograph. This is a beautifully framed lithograph entitled "Fast Ball" by Joe Sheppard. #43 of 100! - with Mantle at bat. Purchased by my father directly from CHARLES HAMILTON in his office on W. 63rd Street in New York City, on August 2, 1993. Professionally framed with TRUGUARD UV Protective glass by Beardlsey Fine Framing of Wilton, CT. My father asked Mr. Hamilton to choose the one of his remaining lithos with the very best Mantle signature, and he chose #43. Huge 8" bold signature is in blue! ORIGINAL RECEIPT INCLUDED. My father has been its only owner. Charles Hamilton was the world's greatest authority on autographs. For example, he personally proved that the widely accepted HITLER DIARIES were fakes. Among Mr. Hamilton's prominence, he was the top expert on the often-forged signature of Mickey Mantle. Please research more about Charles Hamilton online. If you would like to speak with my father directly for more info about the piece, email me and I will give you his phone number. THESE 100 LITHOS WERE MADE IN 1964. Overall size with frame: 25.5" x 22" Size of litho itself: approx 20' x 16" To be packaged professionally by UPS and heavily insured to USA Lower 48. I have perfect feedback. Any questions, just ask. Thank you.
