The "Mighty Mick" of '56, exhibition poster, photographed by Ray Gallo, United States. Signed in marker "Mickey Mantle, No. 7." 24 x 33 1/2, matted and framed to 31 3/4 x 41 1/4 in.

Large-format exhibition poster titled The "Mighty Mick" of '56, featuring the iconic 1956 dugout portrait of New York Yankees legend Mickey Mantle taken by photographer Ray Gallo. Capturing Mantle relaxing in his home pinstripes during his historic 1956 American League Triple Crown and MVP season, this relaxed, candid pose became widely recognized as Mantle's personal favorite photo of himself. Rendered in a distinct monochrome blue duotone, the image includes Gallo's blind-stamp signature printed in white near the lower right corner. Displaying a faded but legible marker signature across the chest region, this oversized portrait serves as a standout display piece for New York Yankees faithful, baseball historians, and collectors of mid-century sports photography.

This lot is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Fleischer’s Auctions guaranteeing the signature’s authenticity and providing for a full refund should it fail authentication by PSA/DNA.
