(LOT 134)
1968 Topps #280 Mickey Mantle SGC 9 MINT
MINT '68 MANTLE!!!... A fan favorite, Mantle's quintessential batting pose portrays the star center fielder donning his classic pinstripes Yankee uniform as he prepares to wallop another one of his majestic long balls. The card is well-centered with reflecting vibrant hues and super clean borders. The 1968 season would sadly be Mantle's final campaign, with the Commerce Comet eventually passing Jimmie Foxx's 534 home run total. Esteemed collectors take on the excruciatingly painful chore of searching for the hobby's finest preserved cardboard artifacts, typically coming up short in their quest for Mint examples. With the pricing points for Mantle's finest graded cards achieving record prices seemingly every day, this magnificent offering will surely find its way to one of the hobby's world-class collections!
