Add another to his estimable list of records and achievements: Mickey Mantle is now the face of the most valuable Type 1 photo ever sold at auction.
Sunday night, Heritage Auctions sold for $843,750 the photo of the New York Yankee legend used to make a trio of Mantle’s baseball cards — including his 1951 Bowman rookie card. Mantle hammers the previous record of $516,000 set by Ty Cobb on August 27, 2022, when Heritage sold the photo used for the Georgia Peach’s 1914-15 Cracker Jack card for $516,000.
