The rookie card of the great Mickey Mantle! A superstar almost from the get go, it seems that only the New Yorkers were the ones that didn't get the greatness of this young stallion. Often chastized for the fact that he replaced the great Joltin' Joe DiMaggio in centerfield, Mantle nevertheless led the Yanks to World Series appearances in 12 of his first 14 major league seasons. This card is a show-stopper! Graded Nm/Mt 8 by PSA and rightly so, the card is exceptionally pleasing to the eye and excels in the areas of color, focus and print quality. In addition, the borders are a beautiful bright cream white that aids the fresh, original look of the card. The centering is 50/50 L/R and 60/40 T/B with a faint upwards tilt from left to right. The 2 bottom corners are strict Mint with only light fibers showing on the tips of the top 2 and the reverse is Mint and centered. If you've been hungry for a very special card that won't set you back 50K, please take a close look at this classic beauty!
