Even a quick glance at the presented 1959 Topps Mickey Mantle confirms that the featured card is no ordinary NM/MT specimen. With corners that are closer to the NM/MT+ to MINT range and a reverse that is brighter and fresher than most at this level, one can only conclude that the extremely slight difference in top to bottom centering is the only restraint to a higher grade. A precisely registered head shot image of the maturing superstar is set against a noticeably rich and resplendent candy-red backdrop, all of which rests beneath a crystal-like coating of shimmering gloss. Among the most memorable Mantle issues of the entire Topps library, this exceptional card looks every bit as alluring in person as it does in our high resolution scans online! A collector's top choice!
