Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA. Transcendent 1951 Bowman Baseball #253 Mickey Mantle rookie card. This centered debut of the Yankee legend is crease-free with evenly rounded corners, slightly off-white edges and brilliant front surface color sequences. The reverse which details Mantle's prospectus is clean and stain-free. A reverse wrinkle which does not protrude the obverse is slightly evident on the middle right edge.
