1961 was Mickey Mantle’s eleventh season in the majors and the tenth consecutive in which he was voted to the American League All-Star team. As such, Mantle was included in Topps’ “All-Star” subset. Issued late in the summer, Mick’s All-Star card is one of the scarce “high numbers” and thus hard to obtain, especially in high-grade condition. This example is part of a rare high-grade set break of the 1961 Topps baseball set, as just one of the examples submitted to PSA has been graded higher than this 9.
