Arguably the most defining rookie issue of the post-war era, Mickey Mantle's debut card from the 1951 Bowman series is featured here, a PSA 4 example that presents well for the grade. Imaged as an 18-year old up and comer, Mantle had been lauded by Casey Stengel as the heir apparent to Joe DiMaggio and was granted the horizontal format to introduce his arrival. Decently centered with above-grade endpoints that counteract the slightly out of focus central image. With Mantle rookie cards seeming to increase exponentially in price with each step up the grading ladder, you'd be wise to snap up this specimen with its multitude of attractive features.
