Description

Graded VG/EX 4 by SGC. Mid-grade example of New York Yankees Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle's true rookie card. One of card collecting's great classics, Mantle's Bowman rookie card is the key to the 1951 set and one of the most popular and significant of all postwar baseball cards. This example has bright colors and light wear to the corners. Boldly printed reverse without even the slightest trace of the gum or wax staining that so frequently affects 1951 Bowmans. An attractive mid-grade example of this legendary card.
