Mickey Mantle Oddball Collectors! One of the most desirable and truly rare of 1960s Mickey Mantle collectibles is available with this near impossible 1968 Topps Baseball Plaks complete sprue. Along with the Mantle ("Big Nose" variation) are extremely scarce portraits of Richie Allen and Jim Fregosi. This "test issue" trio is extremely challenging to find in any condition and is the first Huggins & Scott Auctions has offered. The bronze plastic nameplate between Fregosi and Mantle is detached while Fregosi"s pegs are separated from the base. The portraits are otherwise high-grade and represent a monumental prize for any advanced 1960s Topps collector!
