Looks like REA will offer this card and a few others from the set this spring. I can't recall this card ever selling publicly before.

Just wow! Any speculation as to who might have consigned these? The whole collection is just the cream of the crop for rarity
Why is the 1961 Dice set so rare?
Cool looking card.
Test set, never issued at retail. Just a couple example of each card Are known to exist. One copy of each has pin holes apparently resulting from inclusion in a Topps proof album.
I know two guys with the Mantle, one of whom is selling the one mentioned here. The other is a member here and I think has posted scans of the card here before. The seller was banned here sometime back. He does post on 54.
Remarkable collection, apparently to be sold off over several separate auctions. Along with the the 66 Punch Outs ( not 67), 55 Stamps, 70 Cloth and 71 Rookie Artist Proofs, all unissued test sets, the Dice Cards are one of the toughest Topps baseball sets to assemble
