Mitchell & Ness Pennants
Inserted into each Hobby box as a box topper was a wool felt Mitchell & Ness pennant with accompanying trading card. The Pennants commemorate the Yankees (as of 2004) 26 World Series Championships and Mickey Mantle's three American League MVP awards.
Although not serial-numbered, the reverse side of the trading card lists the number of pennants/cards produced -- usually to the year of the accomplishment. All 29 Pennants are also available in a much more limited variation.
