(LOT 597)
1952 Bowman #101 Mickey Mantle PSA 7.5 NM+
MICK!!!... It is nearly inconceivable to think that no baseball player before and after hit a baseball further and with more consistence than "The Mick", especially in lieu of our National Pastime's current steroid ridden environment. Mantle achieved his mighty power via his sheer natural existence, with no weight lifting or performance enhancing drugs assisting him in any way, shape or form.

It is with no coincidence that the pricing points for his early 1950's baseball card issues have suddenly taken off like an ICBM missile, triggered by the incomparable rise of his "Holy Grail" 1952 Topps high-numbered subject. Since this sudden pricing uptick, we have seen many high-grade '51 Bowman and '52 Topps Mantle surface. The offered PSA 7.5 NM example looks better than the offered grade and should be on everybody's want list. Get on board the Mantle train!!!
