One of the most sought after Mickey Mantle collectibles is a ticket to his major league debut. Here we offer a PSA authenticated ticket to Mantle's major league debut April 17th, 1951. Mantle wore #6 that day, batting third and playing right field, he recorded his first major league hit, an RBI single off of Bill Wright, coming in the sixth inning with one out. Ticket stub is in excellent condition, and is for a mezzanine box seat sec 24, box 158c seat 3 on Tuesday April 17th, 1951. Ticket was perfectly perforated at the dotted line (rare for tickets of this era) and has no creases or major defects. Ticket has the Yankee logo as well as 'OPENING DAY' in red. This is an extremely rare chance for Mantle collectors to pick up an excellent condition ticket to The Mick's very first game (and first hit).
