1953 Bowman Color #59 Mickey Mantle PSA 8 NM-MT
THE MICK!!!... This PSA 8 NM-MT 1953 Bowman Mickey Mantle marvel has been bested by only 1% of the 3,100+ PSA encapsulated copies, a bona fide testament to its esteemed stature. It's 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. Mantle was the quintessential idol for millions of young aspiring American boys, and his supernatural tape measure home runs justify why his cardboard stature continues to escalate at an infinite level.

His Cooperstown-worthy batting image portrays outstanding contrast, crystal-clear clarity, and sparkling hues as the switch hitter completes his mighty right-handed swing. Most significantly, the hallowed image reveals atypical near-perfect centering, only revealing an ever-so-slight partiality towards the lower edge. Additional highlights consistent with the grade include a breathtaking powder blue background, impeccable surfaces, and square corners. Now is your golden opportunity to capture this highly coveted Commerce Comet keepsake that has retained a myriad of its original factory-issued qualities!
