This card showcases the iconic Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder framed by the highly stylized, arched "tombstone" border design unique to the 1972 release. Manny Mota was an absolute institution in Los Angeles, ultimately spending over 30 years with the franchise as a player and coach.

The reverse stock features English and French text, detailing his acquisition from Montreal and his exceptional .312 batting average over the preceding season. The golden-yellow card back remains clean and readable, with an illustrated cartoon celebrating his achievements.
