Graded NM+ 7.5 by PSA. Having firmly established himself in the vaunted Yankee lineup, a youthful Mickey Mantle is featured on the offered 1952 Bowman #101 example. Although overshadowed by the inaugural Topps version, this Bowman Mantle is still quite impressive. Gleaming white borders, a well-defined perimeter, and precise registration are all positive attributes of this 57-year-old classic. The reverse is free of typical wax staining, and the card is properly centered. Slight corner touches account for the technical evaluation.
