With that in mind, presented here is a PSA 3 VG example of the iconic Mickey Mantle rookie card from the 1951 Bowman series in a strong PSA VG 3 holder. What card could better represent the strength of our hobby than Mickey Mantle's inaugural cardboard issue, treasured by every boy who grew up worshiping the "Commerce Comet" dominate the game via his mammoth sized round trippers. The seemingly timeless "Bat over Shoulder" pose with Mickey's #6 partly showing on his uniform from his rookie season is a card to own. The card is 69 years old and would be a great addition to any collection. Bid to own this MANTLE ROOKIE CARD!!!
