Lot # 1571: 1963 Bazooka Panel #1/2/3 Mickey Mantle/Rodgers/Ernie Banks SGC GOOD 2

Graded GOOD 2 by SGC. Extremely attractive full panel featuring Mickey Mantle, Bob Rodgers, and Ernie Banks from the 1963 Bazooka set. This is an extremely impressive complete panel from this unusual, scarce, and underrated Bazooka Bubble Gum package-designed set. Bazooka panels rarely receive numerical grades because they are hand-cut (issued one three-card panel per Bazooka gum box) and the cut must be precise and include the dotted lines to qualify, as seen on the offered example. This Mantle panel is undoubtedly the key panel to this series, and the offered example is superb. Bright and crisp with bold colors, minor corner wear, and a clean cut all around. Downgraded due to an ink notation on the reverse. A very attractive example of the key panel featuring Mickey Mantle and Ernie Banks from this popular 1960s package-design set.
