A key card from the classic 1959 Topps set, capturing the Yankee legend in a portrait pose recognizable from almost any distance. Mantle was already established as the face of baseball by 1959, with two AL MVP awards and multiple World Series titles. He has gone on to have a similar and lasting impact on our hobby at large.

This SGC FR 1.5 grade reflects moderate corner wear and back toning along the left side. The deep red background retains strong color and the photo is clear, with some flecked ink. Collectors know Mantle cards as an essential milestone for any team, Hall of Fame, or complete Topps set, and this accessible example provides that without the cost of higher-grade examples.
