Graded 2 Good by SGC. The mighty Mickey Mantle studies an unfortunate pitcher on his 1951 Bowman Baseball #253 rookie card. Despite errant top-to-bottom centering, this high number still showcases eye-catching presentation with striking player/uniform details against a cloudy ballpark setting. A slight crease on Mantle's upper cap is detectable only upon close examination. The reverse is wax stain-free and amplified by bold biographical text.
