1951 Mickey Mantle Debut New York Yankees Opening Day Ticket
Stub, PSA Good 2. Opening Day is always a thrill for Major
League Baseball fans, but few present at the April 17, 1951 return
to the Bronx could have imagined how special this particular
edition was. Joining the veteran Joe DiMaggio in the outfield was a
nineteen-year old kid from Oklahoma who would blossom into the
greatest baseball hero of the Baby Boomer generation. The original
owner of the presented relic witnessed the dawning of this new era
from the Mezzanine and presciently saved the stub as a souvenir,
now one of twenty-two on the PSA population chart. The stub
exhibits typical edge and corner wear to account for its grade, but
no tearing, creasing or staining.Mantle would go one-for-four in the contest, coming around to score the game's last run on a Yogi Berra single in the five-to-zero shutout of the visiting Boston Red Sox. We remind bidders that our last offering of this stub, a PSA Poor 1 example in our May 2022 auction, commanded a winning bid of $52,800. Every quality Mickey Mantle collection begins here. Encapsulated by PSA, Good 2.
