^Lot 1441 Mickey Mantle

Mantle’s golf tournament worn Harbor Club baseball cap signed in blue felt tip on the brim. In fine condition, with expected wear and soiling. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the hat’s original recipient stating: “I personally witnessed the signing as this was the hat he personally wore during the tournament. I know this to be true because I stole it from him. Mickey was signing a number of items for me and I said that I had something special I wanted him to sign, and while he was signing my other items I grabbed this hat that he had set beside him. By the time he realized that the hat was his, he had already signed it.”
