This is the key card to what is arguably the most attractive Bazooka issue of a spirited run from 1958-71, a grouping of absolutely spectacular oversized cards of 2 13/16-by-4 15/16 that were but from the back of Bazooka boxes of bubble gum. This Mantle measures 2 10/16-by-4 13/16 inches, with a nice presentation of roughly Ex-Mt, with a minor crease of about ¼-inch on the middle of the bottom of the card. The left side of the card is not cut well; the other three sides present Ex-Mt, resulting in a truly attractive display of a remarkably important card.
