Postwar Baseball Cards (1948-present)

Classic example of New York Yankees Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle's true rookie card. Mantle's Bowman rookie card is the key to the 1951 set and one of the most popular of all postwar baseball cards. This well-centered card has a strong image of Mantle. Graded POOR 1 by PSA largely due to scattered creasing and light soiling along the front. A pleasing low-grade example of one of Mantle's most desirable and significant cards.
