(LOT 71)
1954 Bowman #65 Mickey Mantle PSA 7 NM

'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. One of his fans' favorite baseball cards continues to be the 1954 Bowman Mantle subject, and we at Memory Lane are excited to present a beautiful PSA 7 NM example. The classic "half-body" image reveals the finest possible rich hues and near-perfect resolution, with "The Mick's" iconic pose exhibiting extremely nice centering. Sharp corners, and an ultra-clean gleaming obverse side surface are the key exclamation points for this 1954 Bowman Mantle.
