1956 Topps #135 Mickey Mantle Gray Back PSA 8 NM-MT
MICK'S TRIPLE CROWN SEASON!!! One of Mickey Mantle's most coveted cards is his 1956 Topps #135 subject, since it was during this magical season that The Mick would capture both the Triple Crown and his fourth championship. Indeed, Mantle would pace the Junior Circuit with 52 round-trippers, 130 RBIs and a stellar .353 batting average to earn the elusive Triple Crown! Presented here is a spectacular 1956 Topps Mantle subject, a PSA 8 marvel that literally appears as if it has just been pulled from a 1956 Topps wax pack. Mantle's 565-foot homer still remains the furthest recorded ball ever hit in any baseball game, and it's no coincidence that The Mick also walloped two home runs off the façade of Yankee Stadium!

This supernatural power is synonymous with Mantle's cardboard collectibles standing at the top of most post-war hobbyists want lists, and this 1956 Topps masterpiece is the perfect testament to Mantle's iconic stature. Highlights include the classic portrait image's awe-inspiring resolution as well as the imposing pose of Mickey's acrobatic catch. Atypically, the classic image reveals near-perfect centering, with the pinpoint corners and relatively clean surfaces being the final exclamation points justifying its pack-fresh assessment!
