2021 Topps Mickey Mantle Collection Baseball Checklist

2021 Mickey Mantle Collection: a 50-card single-player set recreating Mantle's Topps and Bowman cards from 1951 to 1969 plus modern designs, with 11 numbered parallels, six short prints, Monumental Autographs /7 and a Mantle cut signature

2021 Mickey Mantle Collection is Topps' online-exclusive tribute to the Yankees legend. It was released on October 20, 2021, in five-card boxes.

What's in the checklist

• Base: 50 cards running from 1951 Topps and Bowman through 1969, including "Never Was" designs for years Mantle had no Topps card, then 2013 to 2021 Topps designs
• Parallels: Yankee Navy Blue /199, Orange /150, Green /99, Yellow /75, Gold /50, Light Blue /25, Facsimile Signature /15, Pinstripe /10, Seven /7, Red /5 and Platinum 1/1
• Short prints: three "Printed in Canada" backs (#35-37), an all-white-name 1969 card (#41), and 1967 and 1969 checklist cards
• Autographs: Monumental Autographs /7 from 12 Yankees greats, plus a Mickey Mantle Cut Signature /7

Key subjects

Every base card shows Mickey Mantle. Monumental Autographs signers include Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Reggie Jackson, Don Mattingly and Andy Pettitte.

Grading considerations

The Mantle Cut Signature, the Monumental Autographs /7 and the Platinum 1/1 parallels are the key cards. The "Printed in Canada" short prints differ from the base cards only on the back, so check the back before submitting.
