1959 Topps #10 Mickey Mantle PSA 8 NM-MT
2X AL MVP!!! In 1958, Mickey Mantle was the reigning American League MVP from 1956 to '57. Mantle was at the height of his career during this period, having won the Triple Crown in 1956 and taking home the MVP trophy in back-to-back seasons. But that momentum would not let up in '58, as The Mick once again led the AL in homers (42), runs scored (127), walks (129) and total bases (307) while batting .304. In this seventh All-Star season, he came in 5th in AL MVP voting. It is because of this consistency and dominance, despite playing through injuries, that The Mick became a sort of superhero to baseball fans across the country. Offered here is a 1959 Topps #10 Mickey Mantle in a PSA 8 NM-MT holder. This high-grade example is one of the key issues for the 1959 Topps release. Brilliantly framed within a bright red background with near spot-on centering, this '59 Mantle remains clean and clear with fantastic sharpness overall. This is for the Mantle enthusiast seeking the finest of issues.
