Graded MINT 9 by SGC. One of only three examples graded at this level by SGC with none higher! Extraordinary ultra high-grade example of 1954 Dan-Dee Mickey Mantle, one of the most attractive of all Mantle cards and also one of the most difficult to find in extremely high grade. Dan-Dee cards were issued one card per package with Dan-Dee Potato Chips. They are usually found with serious condition problems relating to this method of issue, including creases and potato-chip grease stains. This is an impressive high-grade Dan-Dee of Mickey Mantle, the key card to the set. The card boasts vibrant colors, a crisp image, strong corners and excellent centering. Boldly printed reverse. This is a spectacular world-class example of one of the keys of all 1950s food issues, and one of the most highly prized of all Mantle cards. Awarded an MBA Gold Diamond by Mike Baker Authenticated for high-end eye appeal. A corresponding MBA sticker is affixed to the front of the holder.
