1962 Post Cereal Life Magazine Card #5 Mickey Mantle, New York Yankees

Description: 1962 Post Cereal Life Magazine Card #5 Mickey Mantle, New York Yankees In the 1960s Post had these baseball cards on cereal boxes as well as other food type-boxes, but two of them were placed in Life Magazine to start people collecting them.The left and right side edges show the remains of the perforations from removing the card from the magazine insert. The top and bottom edges are flat. 3-1/2" wide x 2-3/4" tall. Card has an interior black border away from the removal edges. I am not experienced with grading or the conditions of collectible cards. With that said, I'll do my best to describe it. Please feel free to ask if you have any other questions. This was originally found along with another card (Roger Maris which was listed separately). There is a beginning of an indent or crease on the upper left corner, but I don't see it going all the way through to the backside. There is a small print defect in the blue stripe below the Post logo which looks like a little circle or bubble or blister (see attached zoomed in photo). On the reverse side below the larger Post logo looks to be some faint lettering which could be from the original Life magazine packaging, or from the card being adjacent to a piece of printed paper in storage. Some darkening of the paper with age, and faint dirt on the reverse side. Other than those observations, the front side has a nice clean look about it.
