1953 Bowman Color #59 Mickey Mantle PSA 8 NM-MT
PACK-FRESH MANTLE!!! Many collectors would agree that one of their favorite Mickey Mantle cardboard issues is his 1953 Bowman keepsake. Offered here is an outstanding PSA 8 NM-MT specimen of Mantle's 1953 Bowman subject, with PSA's prestigious Pop chart listing only 1% of the nearly 2,900+ encapsulated copies graded higher! 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. Mantle was the quintessential idol for millions of young aspiring American boys, and his tape measure home runs justify why his cardboard stature continues to escalate in value. His Cooperstown-worthy batting image portrays near-immaculate contrast, impeccable clarity, and vivid hues as the Goliath switch hitter completes his mighty swing. The hallowed image reveals atypical fine centering, only exhibiting a modest favoritism towards the lower left edges. A nearly pack-fresh offering; highlights include a super-eye-pleasing powder blue background, virtually flawless surfaces, and right-angled corners. Now is your golden opportunity to emulate the Mick and hit a mammoth home run of your own by seizing this world-class PSA 8 memento!
