Graded GAI 8.5 NM/MT+, you've got to applaud Global for implementing the half-grade option as is warranted here. Presented is an extraordinary high quality 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle card from his famed triple crown year. Precisely centered with pristine white borders, while the four corners appear at 90 degrees angles, with sharp points that exhibit only minor imperfections or stray fibers. The image of the grinning Mick is irresistible, exuding his Oklahoma farm boy charm from beneath that legendary Yankee bonnet, and seemingly greeting observers rather than just appearing on a sports card. The reverse side print is error-free and set against a dark gray stock, devoid of any stray marks or staining. A top-notch example of one of Mantle's most popular issues!
