1951 Bowman Baseball #253 Mickey Mantle rookie card. Graded POOR 1 by SGC. The card is nicely centered and displays a light vertical crease running down the center, border to border, as well as a few additional light creases and edge/corner wear. The card was once mounted within an album and displays areas of black paper residue on the reverse. It should be noted that most of the aforementioned frontal flaws are not very distracting and the card is more attractive than most examples graded at this level.
