Unique Mickey Mantle 1947 Inscribed Signed Panorama Whiz Kids Photograph. Mickey Mantle was just sixteen years old when this photo was snapped, featuring the 1947 "Whiz Kids" who were winners of the Cardinal Junior League championship team in Baxter Springs, Kansas. The following year while playing on this team Mantle would be first scouted and signed by the Yankees to his first big league contract. The photos dimensions are 8.75" x 20.25" and is matted to overall size of 12" x 22". The silver signature is stunning in appearance and measures 6" in length. Mickey Mantle was always mindful when signing memorabilia, he looked at each piece and made an effort to sign in the best location etc. The Mick clearly recognized and appreciated this blast from the past! He inscribed it with the unique inscription "1947" and also took the time to find himself in the crowd by marking an "X" just above his head. Over the years there have been a handful of similar Whiz Kids signed photos, but this is the first we have seen with the "1947" inscription. This is an incredible opportunity to own a one of a kind Mickey Mantle piece that even he was fascinated by! Includes LOA from PSA/DNA
