1968 Topps Baseball Superstars Killebrew Mays Mantle PSA 5 EX Card #490

1968 Topps #490 "Super Stars" — Mickey Mantle / Willie Mays / Harmon Killebrew — PSA 5 EX

Three of the era's most dominant sluggers share a single card in Topps' 1968 baseball issue — and all three are Hall of Famers, making this one of the most highly sought-after combo cards Topps ever produced. Collectively, these three athletes belted over 1,750 home runs and amassed over 7,750 hits — representing the Yankees, Giants, and Twins all on one piece of cardboard.

Card #490 falls in the high-number series (cards 458–598), which are slightly more difficult to obtain than earlier issues in the set. Cards in this 598-card set measure the standard 2½" by 3½" , and the key Rookie Cards in the set are Johnny Bench and Nolan Ryan — giving the set serious blue-chip company for the #490 to compete with on any want list.

• Mickey Mantle — New York Yankees — one of the most iconic names in the hobby
• Willie Mays — San Francisco Giants — a 24-time All-Star, 12-time Gold Glove winner, and two-time NL MVP
• Harmon Killebrew — Minnesota Twins — retired with 573 home runs and 1,584 RBI; elected to the Hall of Fame in 1984

PSA auction records show over 1,040 total auction sales for this card with a cumulative value exceeding $481,000 , underscoring the depth of collector demand across all grades. A PSA Gem Mint 10 example sold for $7,713 — and the PSA 5 EX grade represents a sharply collected, authenticated slab that puts this three-HOFer centerpiece squarely within reach. Active eBay comps for graded examples of this card show a consistent market in the $100–$165 range for mid-grade PSA slabs, with strong liquidity at every level.

This is vintage Topps at its most powerful: three immortals, one card, one slab. Whether you're building a 1968 Topps set, a Mickey Mantle PC, a Willie Mays collection, or a Harmon Killebrew player collection, this PSA 5 delivers authenticated, displayable history from the Golden Age of baseball.
