This beautiful PSA NM-MT 8 single comes from a high-grade 1961 Topps set, with many Yankees and stars offered as singles in this auction. The photo clarity and overall presentation match what discriminating collectors expect of this grade and reflects the 1961 design as a superior baseball set from the golden era of postwar baseball. Its 1-2 pairing of Mantle and Maris presages the 1961 race to come, making it one of Topps most significant leader cards. As with their NL version, the back shows AL home run leaders since 1901, with a number of surprising names. Even Ty Cobb picked up a title during the Deadball Era!
