1967 Topps #150 Mickey Mantle PSA 8 NM-MT
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 an outstanding PSA 8 NM-MT holder. The continuous soaring price tags of high-grade Mickey Mantle baseball cards continues to stampede ahead, and with no end in sight for this incredible phenomenon, hobbyists continue seeking The Mick's premier cardboard artifacts.
One look at this museum worthy masterpiece easily places it in that aforementioned category, with Mickey's good-natured smile literally jumping off the card. Rich hues, a sparkling powder blue background, dazzling white borders, a relatively well centered image that only reveals a modest partiality towards the left edge, and sharp corners are the highlights of this well-preserved Mantle heirloom that was issued only a year before "The Mick" would play has final MLB campaign.
