Their young faces rendered in still-sharp detail foretell of Hall of Fame careers for both Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle in these 1953 Topps card-image lithographs. Limited-edition works are in nearly Opening Day condition, as are the legends' signatures. The teamwork of light, shadow and color illuminate the greatness of the subjects. But in an interesting twist, it is the publicly exuberant "Say Hey Kid" Mays who wears the world-weary look while the privately tormented Mantle has a lighter expression.The comparisons between the Giants' and Yankees' centerfielders (and the Dodgers' Duke Snider, too) sparked many a debate in New York's subways. But the reverence put into these sketches is beyond argument. These are top-quality collectibles that create some of the best presentation quality imaginable!
