1967 Topps #150 Mickey Mantle PSA 9 MINT

MINT MICK!!! Not since 1963 did the Topps Chewing Gum Company choose to utilize a Mickey Mantle portrait image on his Topps subject, with his 1967 Topps #150 memento presented here in a mesmerizing PSA Mint 9 holder. Bested by a mere 2 PSA encapsulated copies, its unparalleled aesthetics place it as one of the premier '67 Topps Mantle cards on the planet, and one that will certainly find its way to an esteemed PSA Registered compilation. The on-going pricing rise of Mickey Mantle baseball cards continues to stampede ahead, and with no end to this incredible phenomenon, collectors continue seeking The Mick's" premier cardboard artifacts.

One look at this museum worthy masterpiece easily places it in that aforementioned pinnacle category. Mickey's good natured smile literally jumps off the card, ably assisted by a brilliant array of rich hues, and a sparkling powder blue background. The well-centered image only portrays a slight partiality towards the right edge, situated between four dazzling white borders. Blistering sharp corner tips and pristine-like surfaces complete this highly coveted gem that stands as one of the "Commerce Comet's" finest preserved subjects!
