You could win over $10,000 in prizes including a Mickey Mantle rookie card, vintage cards of Sandy Koufax and Roberto Clemente, as well as thousands of dollars in break credit during our Celebration of Baseball Event!

With the baseball season wrapping up after the World Series between the Phillies and Astros we want to celebrate an incredible year. We saw Albert Pujols hit his 700th career home run, Aaron Judge set the AL record for home runs in a season with 62, Miguel Cabrerra recorded his 3,000th career hit, the Mariners made the playoffs after a long drought, and so many more incredible moments happened in front of our eyes. During the entire baseball season, you purchased all of your card breaks with us here at Vintage Breaks, and we want to celebrate by giving back to you!

A 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle rookie card!

Bowman included a young Mantle in their 1951 release with a beautiful painted rendition of the would-be New York Yankees legend.

This is the exact card you can win, and is already graded by SGC as Authentic for you.
