One of the greatest sets of all time, in 1953 Bowman released these cards that featured real color photography, the first in a major national set. So costly was the endeavor that partway through the season Bowman switched to black and white, which is a different set. The centerpiece of the set is, of course, Mickey Mantle. This 1953 Bowman Color #59 Mickey Mantle baseball card has been encapsulated and graded VG EX+ 4.5 by SGC.
