The ultimate baseball card to so many collectors, this is of course the true Mickey Mantle Rookie Card. The key card to one of the greatest baseball card sets, one can see why these have been appreciating so rapidly in recent years. The offered card is a real stunner.

A very faint corner line by the lower right corner keeps this card at a truly world class 3.5. As nice as any scan can be, there is no substitute for holding such a visually stunning card in hard, this is truly very, very special for the grade and superb.
