Encapsulated and graded VG+ 3.5, with Autograph Grade "9" by PSA/DNA. Hall of Famer, in his Bowman Rookie Card appearance. A splendid blue ink signature has been placed on the obverse of this otherwise unmarked, mildly circulated gum card. A simply amazing piece, the offered item combines one of the industry's most valuable and sought-after collectibles with one of its most coveted autographs. Mantle, a first-ballot Cooperstown enshrinee in 1974, passed away in 1995. Very Good-plus condition, with routine wrapper-wax toning on the reverse side. This aesthetically superior artifact is one of the hobby's finest signed Mantle rookie cards, projecting a phenomenal PSA/DNA "9" scripting!
