Item Description
2.5x3.5". The 1962 Topps Baseball set consists of 598 cards. Cards feature a photograph set against a faux wood-grain background, with the lower-right corner designed to give the appearance that it is peeling away to reveal his name, team, and position. Specialty cards including statistical leaders, multi-player cards, team cards, checklists, World Series cards and All-Stars, as well as the debut of the multi-player rookie card. Photo variations of several cards in the Second Series (#110-196) exist, with cards in that Series also found with two distinct printing types - an early printing containing a greenish tint. "Short Prints" can be found in the high numbers, including Hall of Famers Bob Gibson (#530), Willie McCovey (#544) and Hoyt Wilhelm (#545). The 1962 Topps set's wood-grain borders are highly susceptible to chipping that the collection is difficult to find in high grade.

This card depicts two of the greatest players to have ever played the game. Highlights from the 1961 season for both include Mantle's infamous race to 61 homers with his teammate Roger Maris and Willie Mays four homer game. Mickey Mantle was elected to the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1974 while Willie mays was elected in 1979.
