This is by far one of my favorite cards, being a Tigers fan since childhood. The 1964 Topps AL Bombers featuring Cash, Kaline, Mantle and Maris all on the same cardboard. Very often the picture is angled on the card making it appear to be somewhat miscut. I have been looking for a nicely centered one for a long time and finally won it last night on eBay. Item #380388233268. It was a bit pricy at $835 but then again that is more than $250 below SMR. Some multi-player cards are just cool and this one is right up there.

<< <i>Wow, great pick-up. Little known fact; that is the only card Topps ever produced to feature the M & M boys (Mantle & Maris) in the same photograph (not including team cards). You'd think with the popularity of those two combined with how many different muti-player cards Topps did there would be another, alas there is not. Congrats on a sweet card. >>
Not sure if there are others, but this was the first card I thought of when I read your post. Technically it's not in the same photograph, so I guess you are right! LOL

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

GORGEOUS card! GOOD LUCK! But I think you picked it up right at the SMR average for a PSA "9".

You got a great price on it!
<< <i>Yes, you are right Doug. I had referenced a 7-month old SMR which was at $1100. Quite a SMR drop over that period of time. Still very pleased with pick-up. >>
Rich ... you SHOULD be pleased ... it's an amazing card!

That is just about as sweet as it gets! Congratulations.

<< <i>Seriously that card looks like a 10. Congrats! >>
Agreed. Beautiful card.

Yes, I checked into that. The auction title and scan showed PSA 9 mint. But in the card description it referenced it as 8.5. I contacted the seller to verify the card was PSA 9 as shown and he confirmed it. He apoligized for the misinformation posted later in the auction description. No doubt in my mind it is a high end 9. Anxious to get it to see it first hand.

In total agreement, nearly impossible to find centered, great pick up!
