Graded NM 7 by PSA. Extremely attractive example of this early 1950s issue of Mickey Mantle, which is so very similar in appearance to Mantle's rookie card, the 1951 Bowman #253, and dates from the following year. Mantle is the key card in the 1952 Berk Ross set. This example is bright and clean, both front and back, with strong corners, outstanding registration, and centering toward the right. This is a strong example of one of the earliest and most overlooked of all 1950s Mickey Mantle cards. In addition to dating from his rookie era and having a very similar appearance to his 1951 Bowman card, there is no question that the 1952 Berk Ross Mantle is significantly rarer than his 1951 Bowman card, suggesting that this card represents tremendous value among early Mantle cards. Reserve $10.
