Graded EX 5 by PSA. Tremendous mid-grade example of 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 striking example has vibrant colors, outstanding registration, honest corner wear, and excellent centering. Extremely clean with no distracting print lines that are commonly found with this card. Boldly printed reverse displaying a couple light gum stains. A desirable mid-grade example of this legendary card.
