Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards
Graded NM 84 by SGC. Very attractive high-grade example of what is universally recognized as one of Mantle's most striking cards. Mantle had just come off back-to-back MVP years (1956 and 1957) and was looking for the trifecta in 1958. The card features an image of a young "Mick" set against a bright orange background. The offered example is very well centered, with vibrant colors, four strong corners displaying light touches of wear, and a clean reverse. Strong Near Mint example. The equivalent SMR value is $1,100. Reserve $300. Estimate $500+.
