Encapsulated and graded GD 2 by PSA, with Autograph assessed "Authentic" by PSA/DNA. Hall of Famer. Mickey Mantle has penned a spectacular, blue marker signature on the glorious depiction that decorates the obverse of this circulated but otherwise unmarked 1953 Bowman Color gum card. The clean, uncluttered design of the early career collectible acts in tandem with the Yankee legend's superb penmanship to yield a truly inspiring, evocative display piece. Mantle, a 1974 Cooperstown enshrinee, passed away in 1995.
