Nice card. I've heard some disdain before for the portrait shots, and particularly the 1962 and '63 Topps. For me, it comes down to whether or not I like the sets, because for a lot of them, those portrait shots were just de riguer...and I like both '62 and '63. To me the Mantles from both of those sets have always stood out as classics, probably just because I saw them pictured so often in magazines, Beckett, etc. as a kid. In fact, the Burt Randolph Sugar / Dover Reprint books you could get in the 80's - I think I got my first at an elementary school book fair - had a reprint of the '63 Mantle in it. Because it was probably the first real vintage Mantle card I laid eyes on - I immediately wanted it.
