This card represents a tremendous collecting rarity as it features Mickey Mantle's final Topps card in blank back form. Of the 4577 copies of this card graded by PSA & SGC combined, this is the only example recorded in either population report as a blank back. While the possibility exists that other copies reside in graded holders and are not recognized properly in the population report, it is certain that there cannot be many of these in existence. We can find no other record of a similar card being offered for sale. This card is graded SGC Authentic due to SGC's policy of not assigning numerical grades to hand cut or proof cards, but the card presents in EX condition with only minor corner touches and centered as shown. A fantastic opportunity to add a rare item to your collection of an iconic player in his final card appearance as a player.
