1964 Topps #50 Mantle(back) / #83 Triandos (front) SALESMAN SAMPLE
** VERY SCARCE RARITY ** Presented here is a rare 1964 Topps Salesman Sample Panel with #50 Mickey Mantle on the back with Gus Triandos on the front. This spectacular card was once part of a 3-card Topps Salesman sample. If you compare the back of this Mantle to the back of a regular 1964 Topps #50 Mickey Mantle card back, you’ll notice a striking difference: The back of his Salesman panel features a deep rich orange color, versus the lighter/paler orange on the back of his regular Topps issue. It’s in the biography. The first card mentions Mantle’s (then) 15 World Series homers, “breaking a mark set by Babe Ruth.” The second one stops at the reference to the homers. No Ruth. This card history is fresh from a REA auction. LAST EBAY SALE: had a BIN 995.00 **U.S. bidders only Paypal accepted only |
