Graded VG-EX+ 4.5 by BVG. Hall of Famer. Here's an appealing '53 Topps Mantle card that sports intense, boldly projecting colors. The attractive and sought-after collectible, presenting the prized illustration of "The Mick" with admirable clarity, retains well-formed corners with a degree of natural erosion of the red color at the bottom-left caption area. A worthy example of this coveted early Mantle, in gratifying Very Good to Excellent-plus condition.
