1950s Dog Food Mantle, Berra Cards Discovered
When it comes to vintage Mickey Mantle baseball cards, you’d think there’s not much left to be discovered. And just like that, history changes and something new is found. A 1950s Mascot Dog Food Mickey Mantle card was recently uncovered, hiding inside a photo album at a Pennsylvania antique sale. The find may turn out to be the rarest Mickey Mantle card to originate from his playing days.
A new Yogi Berra card from the same set was also discovered at the same time. Both cards, which were certified as authentic and graded by Beckett Grading Services, are being sold through Wheat land Auction Services.
The current owner got the cards from a flea market simply because they looked interesting. They were then brought them into VSM Sports Card Outlet in Lancaster.

But the interest in baseball cards would reach a fever pitch by 1988, which would mark the first year since 1981 that a new manufacturer would enter the fold.
