1969 Topps Mickey Mantle Card
This year would be Mickey Mantle’s last Topps card. The 1969 card sees a return of Mickey batting left handed in the picture. Mickey announced his retirement too late to be excluded from Topps cards. The circle in top denotes Mantle’s name. Mickey Mantel’s last year and another All-Star year for the American great. Clearly, a finishing touch to any valued Topps baseball card collection.Mantle’s final series with Topps contained 664 cards all with very nice layout and design but questionable photos. This was also the last year Topps issued five-card nickel packs and the last year that featured multi-player star cards. Top cards in this series include: Rollie Fingers, Reggie Jackson, Bobby bonds and Graig Nettles. Johnny bench and Nolan Ryan cards are favorites as well.
