This first baseball card Bob Costas remembers getting as a kid was a copy of this 1958 Topps All Star Mickey Mantle card. To this day, he carries it with him everywhere he goes. That's how special this card is. Here, we offer one to add to your collection. It's up to you if you want to bring it with you everywhere you go.

This example has exceptional, vivid colors, starting with the bright red background. Mickey follows though on his right handed swing in the center of the card, with a 9 X 9 grid of white stars behind him. Centering is just slightly south and east on the canvas, with nice edges and corners for the grade. Some faint surface abrasions on the front and a couple ink spots further explain the card's technical grade.
