1951 Bowman #253 Mickey Mantle Rookie PSA VG-EX+ 4.5

Graded VG-EX+ 4.5 by PSA. Magnificent example of Mickey Mantle's true rookie card. One of card collecting's greatest classics, Mantle's Bowman rookie card is the key to the 1951 Bowman set, and one of the most popular and significant of all postwar baseball cards. This extremely striking example has four strong corners with light touches of wear, vibrant colors, and outstanding centering. Clean front and back, with no distracting print lines as are so commonly found with this card. The back is also particularly clean, with no wax wrapper or gum stains, which are often a problem with 1951 Bowmans. This 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle presents a particularly significant collecting and investing opportunity as it is such a strong and attractive example that rarely is offered with such superb eye appeal in this grade! This is a stunning example of one of collecting's most famous cards, and would be a worthy cornerstone to either a 1950s Mantle card collection or any collection of classic baseball cards.
