Offered here is a ticket issued for the game played on October 31, 1953 at Nishinomiya Stadium near Osaka. Although Mickey Mantle did not participate in this tour, he is prominently featured on the ticket!
This is the only known ticket depicting Mantle printed in conjunction with any U.S. Tour of Japan. Issued by the Mainichi Newspaper, this outfield ticket was awarded to a lucky reader, and therefore has no printed ticket price.
Size: 4 5/8" x 2 1/8"
Condition: F-G w/ creases and writing on the back (the writing is upside down as shown in the scan).
