The 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle #135 Gray Back is a historic mid-century baseball card, issued during the pinnacle of Mantle's career. Graded EX-MT 6 by PSA, this card features the distinctive gray cardboard reverse variant rather than the more common white/cream back. The oversized 1956 design features a dual-image format, pairing a smiling portrait with an action shot. The PSA population for the Gray Back variation at this EX-MT 6 grade stands at 1,167, offering a highly presentable example of an issue that is notoriously condition-sensitive due to its large dimensions and susceptibility to edge chipping.
Historically, the 1956 season represents Mantle's finest year on the field. He secured the American League Triple Crown by leading the majors with a .353 batting average, 52 home runs, and 130 RBIs, earning him the first of his three career MVP awards and a World Series title. This card stands as a primary collectible from that landmark achievement in baseball history.Show more
