True Mantle Rookie! Graded VG+ 3.5 by PSA. The offered 1951 Bowman Baseball #253 Mickey Mantle rookie is in rarefied air as one of the few sports cards which transcends condition. Quite simply, this phenom is "a must" for #7 die-hards and complete set collectors alike. The horizontal high number is crease-free with limited perimeter wear and creamy edges. The surface registration is flawless and projects brilliant surface colors. Despite a hint of reverse surface abrasions, the text is entirely intact and the back is wax stain-free.
