Even though the Mick had already announced his retirement from the game, Topps couldn't help but print one last tribute card to Mantle in the 1969 Topps series, popular among collectors because it allowed for his full career statistics to be shown on the reverse. With just 2 GEM MINT specimens out of over 7,500 submissions, it's a pretty safe bet that this MINT 1969 Topps card of Mickey Mantle is the best available specimen for your elite '69 Topps or Mantle collection. With corners and edges that could potentially qualify for GEM MINT consideration, only the slight variance toward the upper right corner keeps this beauty from legendary status. The chip-free salmon reverse completes the package, making it one of the finest examples of Mickey Mantle's farewell by the Topps company.
