Ever-popular and a baseball giant, Mickey Mantle is offered up here in crease-free form, with a 1964 Topps Giant card leading chronologically and condition-wise. The back of the (EX) card tells of Mickey equaling Babe Ruth’s mark of 15 World Series home runs the previous postseason, his Triple Crown of 1956 and of his four American League home run titles. The Mick’s regular Topps issues are perfect for those not seeking high grades but who are not fond at all of creases. Enough corner wear sends the run from ’66 to ’69 to the VG realm, with the ’68 example making it to VG+. Mantle’s record of 18 World Series homers is mentioned on the backs of three, while the reverse of the ’69 card offers a look at the legend’s complete 18-year statistics, with text above informing of his March 1st, 1969 announcement of his retirement. A fine opportunity to secure five Mantles with one swoop merits consideration.
