It’s still about 1/2 cost of his 53 Topps card and has for a long time been an ‘affordable’ way to get an early Topps card of the Mick. It comes from an iconic and ground breaking set abundant with stars, picking up where his 53 Topps left off. The beaming image of Mick also captures the joy of playing the greatest game, plus includes an action pose capturing his athletic ability. It’s a cool baseball card IMHO.

56 topps mantle
56 Topps Mantle Not overpriced at all.
Triple Crown Year and Mantle back in a Topps set after a 2 Year Absence. Plus its such an iconic set filled with Great HOFers . It also has Brooklyn Dodgers , NY Giants and other Long Gone Teams. Most Under priced Mantle is 52 Bowman. Great Card at a small fraction of the 52 Topps. Regards John P

I would think it hard to say that one of the most iconic cards of the single most iconic player to the vintage card hobby, from his first MVP and triple crown season - is overrated or overpriced. Many rank the '56 Topps set as one of if not their single most outstanding effort, and obviously in that timeframe - Mantle is going to be the most important card in the set. The '56 Topps #135 did finally take off some in the last boom, but it's still a lot more affordable than his '53 Topps - and IMO is a much better looking card.
If you are looking for things that are truly overpriced, you can find lots of late 1960's high numbers of players like Cookie Rojas and Mike Shannon, Grant Jackson / Bart Shirey and others - who aren't exactly Mickey Mantle in our collective memories that sell for ridiculous prices - especially in higher grade - simply because they are high numbers or short prints.

The 56 Mantle has a lot going for it. People tend to like horizontal cards as it is, but it also has a great portrait image and a great action shot from a pivotal year in his career.
I don't know if it's overvalued because people do tend to like aesthetically pleasing cards or cards with interesting images. I'm thinking of cards like the 53 Bowman Reese, the 52 Topps Zernial, the Art Whitney with Dog OJ, etc. Last edited by packs; 08-09-2024 at 09:56 AM.
