Striking original Type 1 photo of "The Commerce Comet," Mickey Mantle, taken by prolific Washington D.C.-based photographer Don Wingfield. Mantle is depicted in the classic Yankees road grey uniform top and navy blue cap while taking hacks in the cage from the left side. A tightly cropped shot of Mantle and his batting form, expertly choreographed by Wingfield to draw our attention to the superstar's laser focus and powerful forearms as he coils. 8" x 10" photo displays handsome tonal contrast and bright white borders that beautifully frame "The Mick." Don Wingfield's personal credit stamping has been applied at center of verso, with a few handwritten notations scattered towards the edges – one of which dates the image to 1961. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type 1 photo by PSA/DNA.
