A Mint-condition, high-gold-content, pictorial watch in its equally pristine presentation box with a Mantle-signed COA—what more could one ask for?! The 18K-gold watch, leather band and wooden box feature Mantle's facsimile signature, while the COA has his authentic black-ink "9-10" signature (and comes with an Auction LOA from JSA to back it up). Limited-edition number "55/536" as described on the COA: "This watch commemorates the fifty-fifth home run hit by Mickey Mantle on September 9, 1953 in Chicago. As a switch hitter, Mickey was batting right-handed against Pierce, who was pitching during that inning."
