Mantle's rarest card?
Posted By: Bruce Babcock
Mantle is probably the highest demand player in the second half of the 20th century. Even thought the supply of his Topps cards is plentiful demand keeps the prices high. But are all Mantle issues truly rare? |

61 Topps Dice Game, 67 Topps Giants Stand Ups, 68 Topps Disc would all be good candidates. The 68 Topps Plak (not the checklist which pops up on occasion) is not a card but is fiendishly difficult and the 63 Topps premium Mask is also a tough "Non-card." I'd go Dice Game as the rarest, likely only 2 exist. |

Yup, I forgot the 66 Punchout. You're right, it's likely the king! |

Normally, no one would ever say a 1969 Topps Mantle is a rare card....although, I ask this question....has any else have, |

Well, I've been collecting Mickey for years and I haven't seen another of these. PSA has only graded 2 of them. I'm not sure where I can find "100's" of these. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places? |

More could be sent in but collectors probably don't want to rip them in thirds. |

I agree that Mantle's rarest card known to exist is the 1966 Punch-out. I do not believe duplicates of any of those cards exist. |

Here's the '59. I don't have the 1960 back scanned and the card is in my safe deposit box, but the back appears identical to the US Topps issued 1960 card... the differences are very subtle. The card stock is a slightly different texture, and the front of the card has significantly less gloss than the US version. |

Josh Evans from Leland's was the most recent to do it, and he came back with a mixed bag, mostly low-grade stuff, and almost nothing from 1959 & 1960. |

The 68 Action All Star Stickers are not all that hard to find, even in strips. I see 2 or 3 full strip sets a year up for auction and there are singles, both strip and panel form, appearing with some regularity on Ebay. Odd sized cards/stickers are tough to display and it keeps prices down. The HOF'ers are always popular. These must have had fairly good, albeit local, distribution. |

Do any of the values for these tough Mantle cards even approach the value of his 1952 Topps card? |

A couple of years ago an EXish Dice Game Leon Wagner sold for just over $4K on Ebay. A Mantle in probably lesser condition sold for about $22K around the same time if I remember correctly. A true NM Mantle Dice Game would likely be worth $50K or so I would think. |
