Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in his debut-year collectible. Among nearly 350 copies recorded in PSA’s census reporting, just five examples have been placed at a higher tier. Ownership of a high-quality '48 Bowman Mikan is the ultimate aspiration of virtually all basketball card collectors! In addition to his placement on a very scarce, "High Number" card in the modern era's most prized and important series, Mikan is recognized as one of the earliest players who permanently changed the game of basketball. He was also one of his sport's first true superstars, as well as the game's trail-blazing "big man" – an athlete who towered over his opponents. Mikan's participation required that the rules of basketball be redefined, just to accommodate his unique talents. This card's obverse image is clean and sports a bold, blue background. The four corners are nicely pointed, and the back is clean and legible. A centerpiece collectible, in Near Mint to Mint condition.
