Beginning later today, Panini America is using its Panini Eternal on-demand trading card platform to honor the legendary Mickey Mantle with a weekly initiative that just might make baseball fans and collectors start embracing a case of the Mondays. It’s called “Mantle Monday,” and every Monday for the next 15 weeks, Panini Eternal will launch a new card honoring a Mick milestone.
Today’s card is set to launch at 2 p.m. CST and celebrates Mantle’s big-league debut in 1951. Each card in the Mantle Monday series will be available to order for just one week and will feature a base Gray version as well as a Blue version (numbered to just seven) and a Black version (numbered to only one). We’ve provided a complete release schedule below.
