Framed virtually to perfection with edges and endpoints that look as though they just emerged from the cutting room floor at the Topps factory, this example of the American League batting leaders card from the 1961 Topps series is a clear GEM MINT specimen, and we don't say that lightly given its almost 60 years of age. The orange and red background colors, as well as the dark player caps and the green and black reverse, are as perfectly preserved today as they were when Mantle and Maris were battling to take down the Babe's single-season home run record. One of only 2 examples on record at PSA with a GEM MINT rating, a sure sign that the PSA Set Registry crown will be lurking!
