(LOT 84)
1958 Topps #150 Mickey Mantle PSA 8 NM-MT

THE MICK!!! The unprecedented mystique of Mantle's "king of the hill" card market status has never achieved full resolution. True, his 1952 Topps rookie card ignited the fury, but the exact reason on how this cardboard icon rose to stardom remains an unsettled issue. What we do know with 100% certainty is that the pricing points for all of "The Mick's" '50's and '60's high-grade subjects continue to soar at a seemingly uncontrollable level, with the most advanced collectors rapidly jumping on the Mantle bandwagon. Mickey Mantle's cardboard keepsakes are considered royalty, and only a handful could possibly boast the combined rarity and high-grade characteristics of this seldom seen high grade 1958 Topps Jewel.

The flawless autumn orange background strongly emanates Mantle's classic portrait pose that portrays superb facial hues. No surface flaws are evident, the sharp perimeter includes four sharp corner tips, and the classic image is relatively well-centered between four dazzling white borders. NOT A SINGLE 1958 Topps Mantle PSA Gem Mint 10 currently exists, more than justifying the reason to place the final bid on this PSA 8 example.
