Graded VG 3 by PSA. A post-war blockbuster is available with the offered 1951 Bowman #253 Mickey Mantle example. This "true blue" rookie high number is crease-free with moderate corner/edge wear and creamy edges. Factory errant top-to-bottom centering does little to impede this horizontal jewel's overall presentation. The reverse which details Mantle's future superstardom is wax stain-free. Released a full season prior to the Topps "rookie" high number, this first Mantle release promises boundless upside appeal! Opening Bid $2,500.
