Lot # 33: 1960 Topps #350 Mickey Mantle (Presentation Set) SGC NM/MT+ 8.5

Top .02%! Graded NM/MT+ 8.5 by SGC. Long before factory sets were available for public purchase, esteemed colleagues, friends and employees of Topps were awarded limited edition “presentation" sets. Few of these sets remained intact as most were broken up and entered into general circulation. The offered 1960 Topps #350 Mickey Mantle defied the odds as it remained with its original collection when assessed and validated by SGC. With four virtually untouched corners, bright white edges and mesmerizing surface colors, this foundational piece of the New York Yankees Hall of Famer is proof positive that great hobby finds can be hidden for decades. Of the 4,122 total 1960 Topps Mantles judged by the grading company, this "Mick" is the lone copy with a "presentation set" designation and ranks as 1 of 6 at the grading level with only four better. Serious #7collectors will be lining up for a shot at this masterpiece!
