Bazooka cards were printed on the bottom of gum boxes in the late 1950s and early 1960s, making hand-cut examples a beloved and nostalgic format for vintage collectors. This Mantle example displays beautifully and is encased in a PSA slab for protection.

🎯 Fun Fact: In 1959, Mickey Mantle was at the peak of his fame, just two years removed from his Triple Crown season in 1956. Bazooka cards were never sold in packs — kids had to buy the gum, eat it, and carefully cut the card from the box, making well-preserved examples genuinely scarce today.
