In 1962 the Topps card company put out, along with the usual baseball player trading cards, a series of special cards featuring select players. From www.CheckOutMyCards.com , this is one of the favorites of those cards, titled “Manager’s Dream” and featuring two of the greatest players active at that time and of all time – Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays. Mays’ team, the Giants, had already moved out from New York to San Francisco by ’62, but in New York in the 1950s, fans in the city had the chance to watch 3 of the finest centerfielders to ever play the game in Mays, Mantle of the New York Yankees and Duke Snider of the Brooklyn Dodgers. This card is a favorite of collectors because of the 2 great players on it, (their individual cards are highly valued also) and has sold for as high as $250.
