Description

Mantle's first year without a Topps card. This Bowman was the only regular issue card for Mantle in 1954, which is why this card keeps jumping in value month by month. A beautiful clean example. Some numbers on this card from Beckett and PSA price guides: Value as of October 1985: $100 Value as of October 1995: $900 Value as of October 2015: $2,000 Value as of October 2022: $3,000 Value as of June 2024: $5,000 Mantles, as you know if you are here, just keep going up. He won 7 World Series Rings, 3 MVPS, 4 HR titles, made 20 All Star Teams, won a Triple Crown, and retired #3 all time in HRs to Ruth and Mays. For all the talk of "What might have been" without the injuries, people forget all he actually accomplished. During one of the greatest offensive peaks of anyone in history, the Mick averaged 42/115/.312. The man had 3 world series rings before he turned 21, and solidified his legend in the Fall Classic, setting records for World Series Runs, Total Bases, RBI, walks, and HR with and incredible and almost certainly unbreakable 18. Ships double boxed with insurance and priority mail. Thanks and God bless.
