Graded 88 NM/MT 8 by SGC. Hall of Famer. Among a total of nearly 900 copies recorded in SGC’s census reporting, just ten examples have achieved a higher tier. This exciting piece captures the great Yankee outfielder in his prime, and is a more-than-worthy commemorative in tribute to the incomparable Mantle. The card presents beautifully, with remarkable intensity of printing on both front and back sides. Exceptionally vivid interpretation of color on the horizontally oriented card front is complemented by incredibly bright white borders and an overall pack-fresh appearance; its deeply shaded, glossy portrait of the Hall of Famer sparkles with clarity. The brilliantly rendered card's only trace of past circulation consists of a faint corner touch at the upper right. Near Mint to Mint condition.
