Presented is one of the most coveted Mickey Mantle cards from his storied career. Released during the legendary 1961 season, when Mantle and Maris were chasing Ruth’s home run record—Mantle hitting 54 before a late-season injury cut his pursuit short—this 1961 Topps card stands out. Known for often suffering from print issues in the dark background areas, this example is refreshingly free from such flaws. It also boasts four pristine corners. The only minor issue is a slight centering flaw that limits the grade to NM/MT 8. Overall, it's a striking and highly desirable collectible.
