1960 Topps #350 Mickey Mantle PSA 8 NM-MT
PSA 8 MICK!!! A magnificent 1960 Topps PSA 8 Mantle offering, this 63-year-old marvel has only been bested by a fractional 0.39% of the 9,600+ PSA encapsulated copies! After two successive issues of portrait Mantle images, the Topps Chewing Gum Co. chose to place a bat back into the Mick's hands for his highly coveted 1960 #350 subject. In fact, Topps actually chose to use two Mantle left-handed batting poses, a magnificent colorized centerpiece illustration coupled with a left side black & white smaller image. Mantle's breathtaking colored batting illustration is impeccable, exhibiting relatively fine centering that only reflects modest favoritism towards the lower left edges, with a faint soiling spot along the right edge. Its pack-fresh aura is supported by an array of rich hues and crystal-clear resolution, with the right-angled corners and a gleaming obverse side surface completing one of the finer visually striking 1960 Mantle subjects!
