1963 Topps #173 Bombers' Best (Mickey Mantle / Tom Tresh / Bobby Richardson)

This is a vintage 1963 Topps baseball card, number 173, titled 'Bombers' Best'. The card features three prominent New York Yankees players: Tom Tresh, Mickey Mantle, and Bobby Richardson. They are posed in their home white pinstripe uniforms with Mantle and Tresh holding crossed bats. The card displays the classic 1963 design, which utilizes a green banner at the bottom containing bright yellow and black typography. The physical condition of this specific example appears to be 'Fair' to 'Good' (VG). Significant wear is visible on the corners, which are rounded and soft. The edges show significant chipping and whitening, particularly along the bottom green border. Surface-wise, the image has a recognizable vintage patina with some minor scuffs visible through the protective plastic sleeve. The centering of the image is shifted slightly to the left. As a 1960s cardboard collectible, it has inherent value due to the presence of Mickey Mantle, a Hall of Fame icon, though the condition significantly impacts high-end grading potential. No major creases are immediately obvious in the image, but the overall softening of the structural integrity is consistent with a card that has been handled over several decades.
