This set of five collectible baseball cards from Upper Deck honors Mickey Mantle, a legendary Major League Baseball player for the New York Yankees. Each card displays a distinct, iconic moment from Mantle's celebrated career, with photographic images styled like vintage postage stamps edged with a scalloped design. The cards feature a consistent pinstripe background resembling the Yankees' uniform.
The first card shows Mickey Mantle in a batting stance wearing a Yankees cap and pinstriped uniform. The photo is in sepia-tone. The text at the bottom reads "1951 - The Early Years" highlighting the beginning of Mantle's MLB career. The second card depicts a view of Yankee Stadium during a game, focusing on the home plate umpire and players on the field. A black line drawn on the card traces a home run’s path. The text reads "1953 - Tape-Measure Home Runs," referring to Mantle's famous long home runs.
The third card captures Mickey Mantle wearing a crown and holding several baseball bats, symbolizing his remarkable 1956 Triple Crown season, as stated by the text "1956 - Triple Crown Season." The fourth card features a close-up color portrait of Mantle smiling in his Yankee cap and sweater, labeled "1957 - Second Consecutive MVP," commemorating his back-to-back Most Valuable Player awards. The fifth card contains the set’s title design, showing a color photo of Mantle alongside the words "Mickey Mantle Baseball Heroes" with "The Upper Deck Company" printed above.
This collection underscores key milestones of Mickey Mantle’s baseball greatness and is a tribute produced by Upper Deck to capture his imprint on American baseball history.
