The Mick's One and Only Rookie Card! This 1951 Bowman Baseball #253 Mickey Mantle cornerstone is ideal for those seeking the "true" debut of the Hall of Fame slugger. Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA, the immensely attractive high number portrays Mantle as he readies to unleash a vicious swing against a cloudy ballpark setting. Despite moderately askew centering, the intricately detailed illustration (which was also borrowed for the 1952 Berk Ross issue) remains vibrant and colorful.
