Graded EX-MT 6 by PSA. Beautiful high-grade example of what is universally recognized as one of Mantle's most classic cards. In addition to being one of Mantle's most striking and popular cards, this card dates from one of Mantle's MVP years and follows his finest season (1956 triple crown stats: 52 home runs, 130 RBI, .353 batting average). Getting this card in a pack in 1957 was as good as it got. The image used on the card features a young "Mick" in a mighty swing-thru pose. This example boasts perfect registration, centering slightly to the left, snow-white borders, and a flawless surface. Light, even corner wear is solely responsible for the assigned grade. Outstanding example of Mickey Mantle, the key card from the 1957 Topps set. Reserve $200. Estimate $400+.
