1953 Bowman Color #59 Mickey Mantle PSA 8 NM-MT
THE MICK!!! This PSA 8 NM-MT 1953 Bowman Mickey Mantle marvel has been bested by less than 1% of the 3,157 PSA encapsulated copies, a testament to its rare and alluring stature. It's no secret that Mickey Mantle drives the post-WWII card market, primarily due to his iconic 1952 Topps #311 issue as well as his unparalleled power and American idol stature. Millions of young aspiring American ballplayers idolized the Commerce Comet and his seemingly supernatural tape-measure home runs. This Cooperstown-worthy batting image offers outstanding contrast, crystal-clear clarity, and sparkling hues as the switch hitter completes his mighty swing. Most significantly, the image reveals wonderful borders and slightly skewed centering, only revealing a minor partiality towards the left edge. Additional highlights consistent with the grade include a breathtaking powder blue background, noticeably clean surfaces, sharp edging and square corners. Now is your opportunity to capture this highly coveted Commerce Comet keepsake presented with most of its original factory-issued qualities!
