1953 Bowman Color #59 Mickey Mantle PSA 8 NM-MT
MICKEY!!! It is no secret that the immortal Mickey Mantle rules the post-WWII card market, primarily due to the mystique of his iconic 1952 Topps card as well as his unparalleled power. "The Mick" was the quintessential idol for millions of young American boys. Coupling that with his almost supernatural tape-measure home runs and his unfathomable string of championships all justify why his cardboard stature continues to escalate at an exceptional rate. This Cooperstown-worthy batting image portrays near-immaculate contrast, impeccable clarity, and vivid hues of the switch-hitter completing his mighty right-handed swing. The hallowed image is extremely well-centered. A super eye pleasing powder blue background, virtually flawless surfaces, super-clean borders and pinpoint corners consistent with the grade complete this 69-year-old marvel. Now is your golden opportunity to emulate "The Mick" and hit a mammoth home run of your own by seizing this world-class cardboard gem!
