(LOT 670)
1951 Bowman #253 Mickey Mantle Rookie PSA 3 VG

OKLAHOMA KID ROOKIE!!!... Along with Ruth, Williams, DiMaggio and Mays' inaugural issues, the 1951 Bowman Mantle Rookie is arguably one of the most coveted rookie cards in the collecting community. Presented here is a wonderful example of that rookie issue from the 1951 Bowman series in a strong PSA VG 3 holder. This image reflects vibrant gray and blue tints, a bright sky-blue background, rich facial hues, and strong borders with light OC favoring the lower edge. The perimeter and corners offer even wear overall as expected from 3 VG examples, and light soiling is evident on the face with modest gum stains on the reverse. No matter the grade, Mickey Mantle's 1951 Bowman #253 rookie issue is one of the most important cards in the hobby, so make this a priority on your want list. Keep an eye on this Mantle Rookie!

MIN BID $4,000
