1957 Topps #407 Mickey Mantle / Yogi Berra
'Yankees' Power Hitters' — Mantle and Berra, fresh off consecutive MVP seasons. One of Topps' first multi-player cards AND a sheet-verified Series 5 short print (press row C), making it a famously tough set-closer.
Series 5 short print: one of 11 sheet-verified short prints. Series 5's 55 cards fill five press rows, and this card's row C ran four times per full sheet versus five for the rest (about 20% short). Source: the Topps Archives / Mark Pekrul uncut-sheet study (2026).
One of Topps' first multi-player cards. #400 (Dodgers' Sluggers) and #407 (Yankees' Power Hitters) debuted the multi-player format that became a Topps staple.
About this card
Card #407, "Yankees' Power Hitters," pairs New York Yankees teammates Mickey Mantle and catcher Yogi Berra in a posed shot, both shouldering bats. It is among Topps' earliest multi-player combination cards, a format the company revived in this 407-card set alongside #400's "Dodgers' Sluggers." The timing was ideal: Mantle arrived fresh off back-to-back AL MVP awards (1956, when he won the Triple Crown, and 1957), while Berra had earlier claimed his own consecutive MVPs in 1954 and 1955. As the set's final numbered card and a fifth-series short print (verified on the press sheet's row C), #407 is a famously tough set-closer. Mantle entered the Hall of Fame in 1974, Berra in 1972.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1957 Topps Mickey Mantle / Yogi Berra card?
It is a multi-player card in the 1957 Topps Baseball set - the 407-card, 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inch set that was Topps' first at the modern standard card size, with full-color photography and complete career stats on the back.

Yes - it is one of 11 sheet-verified Series 5 short prints. Its press-sheet row ran about 20% fewer times than the other rows, per the Topps Archives uncut-sheet study. It is single-sourced research, so the label is attributed rather than a catalog standard.
How many cards are in the 1957 Topps set?
407 numbered cards. Collectors usually count 408 because #176 Gene Baker exists in an error ('Bakep') and a corrected back. The PSA master set adds the 8 checklists, 4 contest cards and the Lucky Penny for 421 items.
