1954 Bowman #65 Mickey Mantle PSA 6 EX-MT
POPULAR BOWMAN MANTLE!!! One of The Mick's most popular cards is his 1954 Bowman issue depicting a classic half-bust image of the Commerce Comet. This PSA 6 EX-MT offering offers many pack-fresh attributes, including rich hues, crystal-clear clarity, relatively clean surfaces, and a fine perimeter. In 1954, the 22-year-old phenom would post a .300 batting average, clout 27 round-trippers and knock in 102 runs, the first time in his infamous career that Mantle would surpass the 100 RBI mark. Only a year earlier, the Oklahoma Kid would crush a Chuck Stobbs fastball clear out of Washington, D.C.'s Griffiths Stadium, with the horsehide sphere traveling a still record setting 565 feet. Clearly a sign of things to come, Mickey would ultimately wallop 10+ documented 500+ foot homers in his spectacular 18-year career, with no player, past or present, capable of hitting a baseball consistently as far as the supernatural Mantle!
