Of the several superstar bobbin’ heads that appeared in the early 60s, that depicting Mickey Mantle is the most hotly pursued by collectors. This is the standard, 7” doll with the “NY” logo embossed on his jersey. This one is white as original but with some very minor blemishing in the uniform body. As well, we note a couple hairline cracks in the back of the skull, but no compromise in the material. The identity decal has maintained its full integrity. Overall, the piece is clean and very acceptable at EX/MT.
