“The Mick” played for the Yankees from 1951 to 1968, hitting 536 home runs, wining a Triple Crown in 1956, 3 MVP’s and 7 World Championships before being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974. One of card collecting's classics, Mantle's Bowman rookie card is the key to the 1951 Bowman set, and one of the most popular of all postwar baseball cards. This 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle RC #253 has been graded a GD+ 2.5 by PSA. This collector grade example offers a lot of eye appeal for the grade. The card is off-center towards the top border and exhibits moderate general handling wear, but is free from staining that is common for the issue. A small crease crosses the bottom right corner.
