(LOT 98)
1954 Bowman #65 Mickey Mantle PSA 6 EX-MT
'54 MICK!!!... Unfortunately for the seemingly countless number of Mickey Mantle worshipers, the 1953 Topps Mantle would be the final Topps Mantle card issued until 1956. The power struggle between Bowman and Topps during the early to mid-1950s, with respect to Mantle's presence, would favor the Bowman Gum Company for 1954 and 1955. Indeed, Mantle's hallowed illustration would not appear on a Topps card until 1956, with this superstar's iconic image still available from the likewise popular Bowman card sets. The classic half-body '54 Bowman image reveals rich hues, with The Mick's iconic pose exhibiting extremely nice clarity. Pick this Mantle up today!
