Best Answer

Yes.

Mantle was placed on MLB's ineligible list in 1983 by then Commissioner Bowie Kuhn for working as a greeter and representative for a casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Kuhn believed that anyone that associated with gamblers or gambling establishments should be made to pay by being suspended or permanently banned and had earlier banned Willie Mays for the same reason. Sanity was restored when Kuhn stepped down as new Commissioner Peter Ueberroth reinstated both Mantle and Mays in 1985.

The worth of a 1980s signed baseball with mickey mantle and yogi berra?

Yogi Berra Mickey Mantle Dual signed baseballThe value of multi signed baseballs cannot be priced by the value of each signature added up. Multi signed baseballs are valued as a group of signatures, and how desired that group is as a whole. This does not necessarily mean that two signatures will sell for less than one, but in most cases it does, or at least not the full value of the two signatures added up. A Yogi Berra Mickey Mantle Dual signed baseball is worth about $300. - $400. but could sell for a higher price if both signatures are of a high grade, and could be viewed or displayed on the same side of the ball. Price will vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.


What is the value of a Sharpie signed Mickey Mantle photo?

Nothing. The Sharpie type of pen was NOT invented until AFTER Mr Mantle DIED, so he could NOT have signed that one. Mickey Mantle was alive, and well in the late 1980s when he signed my Black & White Photo in Sharpie. I will include a link for you to see. You will also find information on what it's worth. Authenticating the signature will raise the value. PSA/DNA is one of the top authenticators in the business. The original Sharpie marker was first introduced in 1964 and has since expanded into a wide product line. Today, Sharpies are sold in seven varieties, according to the shape and size of their tip(s), ranging from "Ultra Fine" to "Super Bold". They also come in 34 ink colors..... Source: wikipedia.org online encyclopedia A Mickey Mantle signed 8 x 10 photo sells for about $150.-$300. Price will vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Photo composition, and appeal will effect the price as well. Part of the value will be determined by how well the photo displays the signature. The type of ink used, and how it stands out in contrast to the photograph will also effect the price. Sharpie would be most preferred for a photo. Larger and more desired pictures could sell for more.Mickey Mantle signed a lot of Autographs. One of the most sought after signatures, there are also a lot of fakes on the market. The numbers are alarming. This is why to get top dollar for an autograph it should be properly authenticated.
