1960 Topps #350 Signed Mickey Mantle PSA 3.5 VG+; AUTO 10 GEM MINT
Here is one you don't see very often! This outstanding 1960 Topps #350 Mickey Mantle subject has been boldly signed "Mickey Mantle" in imposing blue Sharpie directly across his classic Yankee pinstripes, easily meriting the highly coveted PSA 10 Gem Mint assessment! Furthermore, the card's stellar eye appeal has earned it a formidable 3.5 VG+ technical assessment, with more than half of the PSA Authenticated scripted '60 Topps cards reflecting no technical assessment. While the relatively clean surfaces, imposing image registration, and sparkling hues warrant the grade, some even corner wear portraying an eye pleasing uniformity prevented a higher assessment. The 1960 campaign would see "The Mick's" 40 round-trippers lead the A.L. for the fourth and final time of his immortal career, leading the Yankees to another A.L. Pennant. This spectacular offering serves as a sheer reminder of Mantle's peak years, when the Commerce Comet was walloping home runs at incomparable distances that literally exceeded the physical limits of the standard ballplayer.
