topps didn't print a mickey mantle card for the flagship in 2013. this was the first time the number was vacated since 2005. maybe they ran out of photos to use. anyway, i am glad that they printed this card in 2011.
it also showed up in opening day
and chrome - in base
and in refractor form
it's a great shot of mantle trying his best to bust up a double play. i am guessing that the shortstop is a member of the detroit tigers, but how cool if it were pee wee reese? too bad topps didn't crop this a little differently so we would know for sure.
