Oddball Mantle Collectors! Extraordinary 1953 Topps Baseball Salesman Sample hand cut three-card panel featuring some heavy cardboard artillery in a second-year Mantle. Each graded Authentic by SGC, this artifact was originally used by the company to peddle upcoming products to vendors and other suppliers. This nearly impossible-to-find survivor was neatly cut by the original owner with the cards measuring similarly to those distributed in wax packs. Additionally, this threesome which also includes #8 Koshorek and #11 Yvars is entirely crease-free with crisp perimeters and bold surface colors. Stray print marks barely affect Mantle and Koshorek's portraits. The gray backs are clean and amplified by bright blue advertising text. An essential find for the Mantle collector who thought they had it all!
