The 1961 Topps Mickey Mantle #406 is the Hall of Famer's most unique mainstream baseball card from his playing days. Unless you count the little speck meant to represent him at the plate, the card doesn't actually picture Mantle. Rather, it represents the mammoth moonshot he hit at Washington's Griffith Stadium in April, 1953. The 565-ft. home run off Chuck Stobbs holds up as one of the longest in MLB history, second only to a 1921 shot from Babe Ruth that went 575 ft.
This particular copy of the 1961 Mantle has few peers as well. Of the more than 4,100 copies assessed by PSA, this is one of just four to land Gem Mint 10 status.
