The offered 1961 Topps Mickey Mantle MVP issue commemorates the Mick's MVP seasons of 1956 and 1957. Of course, in the memorable 1956 campaign, he rang up 52 homers and 130 RBI, earning him the American League Triple Crown, matched only by Frank Robinson in '66 and Carl Yastrzemski in '67 since. The offered specimen features MINT corners and edges with admirable centering that is subtly in favor of lower right corner. The registration is perfect and the colors are overwhelmingly bright and bold.
