THIS FULL COLOR PHOTO PORTRAIT OF MICKEY MANTLE SHOWS HIM AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS SUCCESS AND POPULARITY. MICKEY IS ONE OF THOSE BASEBALL GREATS WHO EXCELLED AT THE GAME IN SPITE OF HIS MANY INJURIES AND CONSTANT PAIN.
TO DATE, MICKEY MANTLE HAS NO US POSTAGE STAMP DUE TO THE TEN YEAR RULE. (UNLESS YOU'RE A PRESIDENT, YOU MUST BE DEAD AT LEAST 10 YEARS BEFORE YOU'RE ELIGIBLE TO HAVE YOUR FACE ON A US STAMP....PRESIDENTS WILL GET A STAMP WITHIN A YEAR OF THEIR DEATH.) MICKEY'S STAMP WAS ISSUED FROM THE ISLAND OF ST.VINCENT.
THE OTHER TWO STAMPS COMMEMORATE THE CENTENNIAL OF BASEBALL (ISSUED ON THE OPENING DAY OF THE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME IN 1939), AND THE CENTENNIAL OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL ISSUED IN 1969.
MATTED IN YANKEE BLUE (OF COURSE), THIS PIECE IS SIZED TO FIT A STANDARD 11 X 14 FRAME. SURPRISE YOUR YANKEE FAN WITH THIS POSTAL AND SPORTS PIECE OF COLLECTIBLE MEMORABILIA FROM WALL ART COLLECTIBLES.
