(LOT 163)
1959 Oklahoma Today Mantle/Hubbell Major League Hand-Cut Double PSA 6 EX-MT
OKEE HOFers!!! Born only 50 miles from one another in rural Oklahoma and Missouri, Mickey Mantle and Carl Hubbell earned Hall of Fame status at the plate and from the mound, respectively. Mickey hit 536 home runs for the Yankees and Carl went 253-154 for the Giants. Offered here are card #s 8 & 9 from the 1959 Oklahoma Today Major Leaguers set, cut from the magazine's back cover. Mantle appears against a radiant gold background with a common black and white image used on multiple occasions for the 1953, 1955-56 New York Yankees Actions photos. Hubbell's black and white images conversely rest against a powder blue background mirroring his image on the 1929-30 R315 issue. Well-clipped from the magazine back along the perforation lines and super clean and clear. This is the one and only duo ever graded! Based on a number of sources, this issue of the two Hall of Famers on the same encapsulated card has never been offered at auction.
