September 2017 Sports Card, Memorabilia, & Currency Auction

This is the highest BGS graded population report of this rare Mickey Mantle Rawlings Staff Advisory Photo! Only 11 of these photos have been graded by Beckett, and only two were graded 8 NM-Mint (none graded higher). The value of this hard-to-find 1961 Rawlings Advisory Staff photo is difficult to ascertain due to the scarcity and the fact that it is Mickey Mantle. These photos were typically given to sporting goods representatives. This particular staff photo was stored for years in a file folder by a sporting goods sales employee, maintaining it's like-new condition and enabling the highest grade seen by Beckett. Since these are large, photo style cards, they are rarely seen without creases or quality issues. This image is so rare that none were found listed or recently sold on eBay at the time of this auction listing!
Condition: NM-Mint
