My vintage card of the week: The 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle. Not much to say here. This is my favorite Mantle card. At least my favorite that I’ll ever be able to own. It's simply a gorgeous piece of baseball card history, and 1956 was the first of Mantle's MVP years.
Picked up this beauty earlier this year and decided to get it graded since I was sending other cards in anyway. Just got it back from SGC and am pretty happy with the results!!
Ted Williams was born 107 years ago today. Williams was my dad's favorite player. When he passed away six years ago, I bought this card in his honor. It was one of the big final cards on my way to finishing the '56 Topps set.
