1958 Topps #150 Mickey Mantle PSA 8 NM-MT
PACK-FRESH MANTLE!!! One of Mickey Mantle's most coveted cards is his 1958 Topps subject presented here in a compelling PSA 8 NM-MT holder. PSA's Pop Chart indicates that only a meager 0.47% of the 8,000+ encapsulated copies have bested this hallowed keepsake that just happens to include fine centering. The pricing points for all of The Mick's '50s and '60s high-grade subjects continue to soar, substantiated by the record-setting 2022 sales of PSA 9 MINT and PSA 8 NM-MT 1958 Topps Mantles for $92K and $20K, respectively. The Mick's cardboard keepsakes are considered sheer royalty, and only a handful could possibly boast the combined scarcity and high-grade characteristics of this seldom-seen offering. The immaculate autumn orange background strongly projects Mantle's classic portrait pose which reveals rich facial hues. No notable surface flaws are evident; the razor-sharp perimeter includes four pinpoint corners; and the classic image exhibits excellent centering between four bright white borders, only exhibiting a modest favoritism towards the right edge. Its pack-fresh surfaces are the final exclamation points, with the breathtaking portrait pose and eye-popping hues more than justifying its elite stature!
