(LOT 1083)
1954 Bowman #65 Mickey Mantle PSA 8 (OC) NM-MT
54 MICK!!! Unfortunately for the seemingly countless number of Mickey Mantle worshipers, the 1953 Topps Mantle would be the final Topps Mantle card issued until 1956. The power struggle between Bowman and Topps during the early to mid-50s, with respect to Mantle's presence, would favor the Bowman Gum Company for 1954 and 1955. Indeed, Mantle's hallowed illustration would not appear on a Topps card until 1956, with this superstar's iconic image still available via the likewise popular Bowman card sets. One of his fans favorite baseball cards continues to be the 1954 Bowman Mantle subject, offered here in a PSA 8 (OC) holder. Looks better than the offered grade. Add this one to your Hall of Fame collection.
