If not already part of the hobby vernacular, the 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle card should simply be known as "The Triple Crown Mantle" as it was produced in the year that Mantle had his greatest accomplishment; 52 homers, 130 RBI, and a .353 batting average while avenging a 7-game Yankees loss to the Dodgers in the 1955 World Series with a 7-game championship. The design of the featured card is not only significant but beautiful as well, bursting with bold color and featuring a wonderful portrait of the New York legend. The offered gray back card earns a well-deserved PSA 8, beautifully framed with all for the intense color that came with the card the day it was made. The corners easily handle NM/MT specifications, the centering is right on target, and the rugged rough cut adds extra beauty to an already magnificent piece.
