Best Answer

There were no Topps cards made for Mickey Mantle in 1954, and 1955 because Bowman had an exclusive Baseball card contract with Mickey Mantle. In 1956 Topps purchased the Bowman company and ended their rivalry in the sports card market. In 1989, Topps once again began production of cards with the Bowman name.
