I would vote for DiMaggio.
Hoping not to be savaged by the Mantle group. Even being a semi Yankee fan only because the Phillies sucked so bad until about 1977. I never felt the same about Mantle as DiMaggio. I thought Mays was the best all around player between Mantle and Aaron in that era. I remember an interview once where Mays said if he knew homers were such a big deal he would have hit more. Though of the three he was the most miserable autograph guest.
That was not the question Mike. Prepare yourselves for some controversy. I believe that the only reason Mickey Mantle's autograph is worth so much money is because he is the preferred New York Yankees player of the baby boomers. He was absolutely a great baseball player. I am not disputing that obvious fact. I am simply saying that there are a lot of autograph collectors out there purchasing the same Yankees player's autograph. I predict that one generation from now, Joe DiMaggio's autograph will actually be worth more money. After all, how much money did a World War II veteran actually have to spend on a baseball player's autograph? They are fortunate enough to have survived World War II, as well as the Great Depression.
Please be gentle in your replies.
I enjoy this kind of talk anyway. I know both signed a lot but DiMaggio is a little more rare. I wonder who Chris Williams will "vote" for. I will add,of the two Mantle was a bit more pleasant as a signer.
Me too.
Its always comes down to the money for Mr.Kaminski...Personally I would take Mantle over Joe D. But covet them both about the same.Mantle was my first in person autograph when i was 11 years old and while i think i may have talked to his handler more then him I felt the Mick was just the icon of a whole generation.Also If it were not for Joe D in the WS Mantle may have not gotten injured and would have just been that much better..I am sure 10-15 years from now Joe D will be worth a bit more seems like his prices are soft atm.
Joe DiMaggio.
Just autographs I'd cherish a DiMaggio signature more but I'd rather drink beer and raise hell with Mickey.
