1959 Topps #10 Mickey Mantle PSA 8.5 NM-MT+
MICKEY CHARLES!!! Coming off their 1958 World Series victory over the Milwaukee Braves, the 1959 Yankees would once again be the favorites to win the American League pennant, led by their world-class superstar Mickey Mantle. The Topps Chewing Gum Company celebrated the Yankees championship by representing their future Hall of Fame player with a spectacular good-natured portrait image. Residing as one of Mantle's highly coveted cards, the #10 Topps subject is presented here in a breathtaking PSA 8.5 NM-MT+ holder, with only a few besting this miraculous gem!

It doesn't take a Rhodes Scholar to understand the unprecedented value uptick of high-grade Mickey Mantle baseball cards, and this ultra-desirable memento surely fits right into that most desirable mix. The classic portrait pose emanates pristine facial hues, with the Mantle image well projected via the seemingly flawless bold red background. The presented near-perfect 50/50 centering is rarely if ever visible on a 1959 Topps Mantle subject, with most specimens exhibiting skewed images. Razor-sharp corner tips, no apparent surface flaws and immaculate resolution complete this timeless offering that proudly stands tall as one of the finest of its kind!
