1961 Topps #300 Mickey Mantle PSA 8 NM-MT
HISTORIC '61 CAMPAIGN!!! Historic to say the least, the magical 1961 season will forever be linked to Mantle and Maris engaging in a home run onslaught that challenged the Babe's majestic 60-home run record. While it was Maris who eventually eclipsed the Bambino's mark, their classic battle will forever be embedded in the hearts of baseball enthusiasts. The embodiment of courage, Mantle's supernatural power and blazing speed are world-class qualities tantamount to this compelling PSA 8 NM-MT marvel. Mantle's breathtaking portrait image, bat over shoulder, depicts crystal-clear focus, with the image only somewhat favoring the lower left edges. Of utmost significance, the black setting has eluded any snow that typically plagues the '61 Topps Mantle subject. The immaculate illustration is ably assisted by pinpoint corners, brilliant hues, and fine edging, with this 63-year-old memento boasting a myriad of pack-fresh attributes!
