The Mickey Mantle championship ring was fully authorized and licensed by the Mantle family and was designed and made by Balfour shortly after his death. Balfour has been designing every single Yankee championship ring for decades. Presented here is a Balfour 10K gold Mickey Mantle career ring, featuring Mantle’s number “7” – made up of six diamonds – set on a large dark blue stone. “MICKEY MANTLE 1951-1968” appears around the bezel setting in relief work. One side features a facsimile of Mantle’s signature above an image of Yankee Stadium, with “# 7 RETIRED 6-8-69” reading at the bottom. The opposite shank displays bats listing many of Mantle’s stats, including “.298 B.A. – 1509 R.B.I.” and “18 WORLD SERIES H.R.” His career total of “536 HOME RUNS” appears at the top. The inside of the band is marked “BALFOUR 10KY” and is numbered “122/536”. This ring weighs approximately 40.0 grams and includes the original hinged wooden presentation box which reads “Mickey Mantle 7 CAREER RING”. An awesome piece for any Mantle collector.
