Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer. Among more than 7,500 copies recorded in PSA’s census reporting, fewer than two percent have achieved a higher, unqualified tier. Fans in 1961 witnessed a banner year for Mantle, who hit a career-high 54 home runs. Despite the technicality that teammate Roger Maris eclipsed Mantle's mark to win the home run title, "The Mick's" league-leading walks total affirms that he was still the most feared hitter in the junior circuit. The offered Mantle card, a beautiful memento of that historic season, stands above reproach. The card's overall appearance is vibrant, with tremendous color and optimal clarity. Near Mint to Mint condition.
