Graded EX-NM 6 by SGC, this 1962 Topps #471 Mickey Mantle All Star card features an extreme close up of the 1962 MVP. Despite missing 39 games due to injury that year, Mickey led the league in Walks, OBP, SLG, OPS, and OPS+ while winning the only Gold Glove Award of his career.
The wood grain border design adds an element of interest to the 1962 set, with the vibrant colors of the sky and name plate remaining gorgeous more than 60 years after the card's issue. Soft corners with some light edge chipping and a handful of fisheyes on the back keep this example from grading higher, but it still has a tremendous amount of eye appeal and commemorates a significant year in Mickey's Hall of Fame career.
