Lot #9 1951 Bowman # 253 Mickey Mantle RC Cond: PSA 2.5

One of the hottest cards in the world, this is a true cornerstone baseball card. Freshly graded, this is an exceptional quality card for the grade. Bright and clean, this has none of the usual print issues, the image of a Rookie Mickey Mantle looks great, this retains rich color and clean white borders. The back is clean. Quite well centered left to right, but off-center to the top, this displays very well. The corners are VG and not bad at all. There are some truly tiny wrinkles by a few corners, much, much better than usually found on a 2.5. If you are looking for a very attractive Mantle Rookie with no technical flaws and clean surfaces and do not want to spend $15,000 or more, you may want to take a long look at this quality card.
