Graded VG-EX+ 4.5 by PSA. Hall of Famer. Bowman's third Mantle card is regarded by many as the company's proudest effort. It features a magnificent photo of Mantle in his follow-through swing. "The Mick" looks like a youngster in his pinstripes (he was 21 years old in this photo) and the blue sky makes for a perfect backdrop. This is, of course, the key card in the '53 Bowman Color issue and a cornerstone to any 1950's baseball collection. The offered example presents nicely, conceding only minor corner wear and a spot of wrapper waxing on the reverse. Very Good to Excellent-plus condition.
