(LOT 129)
1953 Bowman #59 Signed Mickey Mantle PSA 2.5 GOOD+; Auto 8 NM-MT

BOWMAN SIGNED MICK!!! This outstanding 1953 Bowman #59 Mickey Mantle has been boldly signed in blue Sharpie by the iconic Commerce Comet, graded PSA 2.5 GOOD+ while boasting a captivating PSA 8 NM-MT autograph that certainly appears to merit a 9 assessment. The majestic signature has been neatly placed directly across Mantle's powerful right arm, and most significantly, this sparkling marvel reflects atypical fine centering, with only a modest partiality towards the upper edge. Trying to locate any relatively well-centered '53 Bowman Mantle is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, let alone one that has been scripted by the legendary Mick. Regarding potential pricing, one must consider that there are currently 23 PSA 9 MINT '53 Bowman UNSIGNED Mantles that fetch a staggering average price of $264K! While there are 45 SIGNED Mantle's typically selling for $10K-$25K (with a record high of $29K for a PSA Authentic) based on eye appeal, only 5-10% could possibly portray the splendid aesthetics of this Cooperstown worthy masterpiece. While a diagonal crease in the upper left quadrant and even corner wear prevent a higher grade, the visually striking legendary image and extremely bold "Mickey Mantle" script combine to steal the show!
