Phillies Cigar is my favorite (Note: this one isn't mine - I don't have a picture of mine handy).

I waited a long time to find a nice one:

'52 Bowman
'54 Dan Dee
'53 Bowman Color

I'm going to throw a sentimental vote for the '65. My dad got this for me the year Mantle passed as a Christmas gift when I was 12. Despite the sentimental value, the '65 is arguably the nicest Mantle from the 60s IMO

56 topps
53 Bowman
58 all star

Agreed - only I'd swap out the 58 for a 54 red heart dog food

'65 was a great year, 100% agreed. I also like '56, the landscape design and eye appeal to that card rocks. I only have two Mantles in my collection but am looking to add more

Did you get the one that sold recently? I put in some strong bids on it and was planning to sell one of my 52 Topps to pay for it. But just couldn't land it. Such an awesome card.

As for favorites, I'm partial to the 60 Venezualan Topps Mantle/Boyer. That one was particularly tough to locate. I have about 20 "favorites" though.

56 topps!

[JollyElm]

Add me to the list of 1965 Topps fans. And the oft-discussed 'fake' Mantle's Clutch HR card is pretty cool, too.

57 Topps sucks.

I have always liked the 1954 Red Heart. I picked up the PSA 6 around a year ago and upgraded to the PSA 8 about 6 months later.

sweet Red Hearts! As I stated before, his most appealing card ....

now I need one!

[ValKehl]

This is my favorite because (1) I'm partial to very scarce cards, and (2) my mom fed me Briggs hot dogs when I was a kid, but I didn't save the cards because what kid wants a card with no player bio/stats on it that had to be cut off a waxy hot dog box.

Not being Mantle collector and being mostly into pre-War cards these years, I sold this beauty on eBay last summer to build up my war chest for the Heritage auction of Leon's collection.
