1961 Topps Mickey Mantle #578

The high-number Mantle that tested every set builder of its era

Card 578 places Mickey Mantle in the 1961 Topps high-number series, a run printed in smaller quantities and notoriously difficult to complete in clean condition. Mantle was at the height of his Yankees career in 1961, the year of the famous home run chase alongside Roger Maris, which keeps demand for his cards from this set strong. This example grades PSA 6 (cert 115557794), presenting as an honest mid-grade copy with the body and visual appeal collectors look for while remaining attainable next to higher grades.
