1953 Bowman Color #59 Mickey Mantle PSA 7 NM
'53 BOWMAN MICK!!! Mickey Mantle became the next superstar to don the Yankee pinstripes that were so proudly worn by predecessors like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and so many more. The Mick became the next great thing in New York, and he endeared himself to Yankee fans with monstrous home runs and a skill set with which they were unfamiliar. He clouted 536 home runs, drove in 1,509 runs, was a 20X All-Star, won three AL MVPs and led New York to seven World Series titles. Mantle enthusiasts would firmly place his 1953 Bowman Color #59 card in high-grade as one of his most coveted. Offered here is his 1953 Bowman Color #59 graded 7 NM by PSA. This alluring example is pleasing to the eye, with Mantle in his posed follow-through against a sky-blue background. The image looks superbly framed within four white borders, displaying only light touches at the corners. The surfaces are clean and fresh.
