This can be called somewhat of a “Career Capper” of sorts, being
that it’ll be the last fantasy Mantle card I create imagining if he
played to about his age-40 season:
Funny enough this card serves multiple roles: career-capper, MIA
MIA, missing in action, but more than anything serves as a reminder to
how amazing Mantle was considering he retired at a young age yet put up
numbers that made him a legend!
Heck, just two years after this card would have been issued he was
elected to the Hall of Fame, cementing his God-like baseball status, and
making him arguably the most popular New York Yankee of all-time,
especially in the baseball-card world.
