Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Offered are the two key cards from the classic 1954 Bowman issue, both graded and encapsulated by PSA: #65 Mickey Mantle (GOOD 2, bright, crisp, and clean, with bold colors and centered slightly to the top left; downgraded from Ex due to surface creases on the reverse) and #89 Willie Mays (VG-EX+ 4.5, clean and crisp example with strong colors, and centered just a touch to the top). Very sharp-looking, mid-grade examples of the two key cards from one of the most popular and classic of all 1950s bubble-gum issues. Total: 2 cards. Reserve $200. Estimate (open).
