This '68 Topps Mickey Mantle card, graded PSA MINT 9, is simply breathtaking. It boasts razor-sharp edges and corners, a vivid photo of Mantle, and nearly perfect centering. Notably, this is the last card to feature "The Mick" as an active player. Although Mantle appears in the 1969 Topps set, he had retired by then, having determined in spring training that his health couldn't sustain another season. Given Mantle's illustrious career, Topps chose to forego a lengthy bio in favor of a succinct note: "Mickey holds a World Series mark of 18 homers," perfectly encapsulating his legendary status. The iconic image of "The Commerce Comet" in his classic left-handed batting stance would be an extraordinary addition to any collection.
