The 1960 Nu-Card Baseball Hi-Lites set was a unique baseball set with the format appearing as a newspaper headline, photo and story of some of Major League Baseball's great moments in history. These oversized cards are printed in black-and-white with the headlines written in bold red. At the top of each card is the card number, "Baseball Hi-Lites" title (printed in black and red) and the "Extra" caption as well as the date of when this particular event occurred in baseball lore. The centered photos are in black-and-white and a synopsis of the original story is printed below. The backs feature a baseball quiz.

Mantle played his entire Major League Baseball (MLB) career (1951-1968) with the New York Yankees as a center fielder, right fielder, and first baseman. Mantle was one of the best players and sluggers and is regarded by many as the greatest switch hitter in baseball history. Some of his many career accomplishments include being a 20 time All-Star, seven time World Series Champion, three time MVP and a Triple Crown winner. Mickey Mantle was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1974.
