1951 Bowman Baseball #253 Mickey Mantle rookie card. The card has a signature but it is not Mantle's. It appears to be a vintage secretarial version. Other than having the secretarial signature on it, the card is sharp and appears to be VG-EX. It has no creases with light corner and edge wear. It has some very slight foxing and a bit of a wax stain on the verso. Nice bold and crisp coloring. The centering is about 65/35 left to right and 45/55 top to bottom. A fine example of The Mick's true rookie card!
