1954 Sports Illustrated Mickey Mantle baseball card. I was told it was an original but I do not know for sure so I'm selling it as is . Card appears to have something on the face please look at pictures carefully. Card is mis-cut too close to the top, and you can see the centering is near perfect except for the top border. Paper stock is a heavier stock, much like regular baseball cards. This was part of several cards that were printed in the 1954 Sports Illustrated magazine, so I was thinking the paper stock would have been regular magazine stock... no idea what kind of paper was actually used, so again, being sold as is. Card will be shipped in a sleeve, plastic protector and clear resealable baggie with cardboard packs.
