*(Lot 2) 1967 Topps Test Issue Giant Stand Up #8 Mickey Mantle GAI 8.5 NM-MT+
A VERY RARE “UN-CIRCULATED” TOPPS TEST ISSUE Many collectors consider this card the rarest of the Mantle cards to find. This card is part of a series of “un-circulated Test issues” by Topps; Sources estimate that less than a handful of these Mantle test issues exist. The cards are of an unusual large size for a sports card (3 1/8” x 5”) and printed on a thick cardboard with a die cut design and image. NM-MT example features a Colorful photo of Mantle fully defined with clarity and detail then the color shot is surrounded by a sea of pitch black. This “silhouetting effect” makes the image of Mantle JUMP-OUT at you and gives you the impression you are looking at Mantle hanging in a fine art gallery setting! Unbelievable! It’s an amazing image that seems to radiate off the card itself! Every Collector desires the rarest of rare - let alone the Hall of Fame Yankee Great Mickey Mantle. Here’s an opportunity to own an example from an “un-circulated issue” that was never distributed to the public! Take advantage of this chance to own now!
