1959 Topps Mickey Mantle

The 1959 Topps Mickey Mantle #10 card is the key card of the 1959 Topps 572 card set. This card is strikingly beautiful in higher grades as the bright red background really adds to eye appeal. The card features a younger face shot of Mickey Mantle sporting a New York Yankees ball cap and has a facsimilie autograph along the bottom half of the card.

The back of the card lists Mickey Mantle’s career stats through 1958 and features some interesting facts. The back states, “In the ’53 series Mickey hit a grand slam homer”. It also states, “Mickey was A.L. Homer King for the third time last season. In the ’58 World Series he poled a pair of round trippers in the second game. He was M.V.P. in 1956 and 1957”.

Mickey used to live in Dallas, Texas and would be turning 80 years old this year if he were alive today. I am lucky to say that I am a proud owner of a higher grade 1959 Mickey Mantle card as it was the last card I needed to complete my 1959 Topps set.
