FS 1952 Bowman #101 Mickey Mantle
 

Purchased 10 years ago in SGC 60 (5) holder. Immediately cracked and put it in my binder where it's been ever since.

My description: Card is nicely centered with BEAUTIFUL image and colors and perfect registration. Corners and edges show light wear, with the bottom left having light to moderate wear. Back shows wrinkles/creases at both bottom corners that don't appear to go thru to front. Back also has light staining at top and right along with wax staining. I'd give it a technical grade of 3.5 on the tiger8mush scale.

Huggins & Scott description from 2015 auction:
"Graded 60 EX 5 by SGC. Mickey Mantle avoids the dreaded sophomore slump with this intense 1952 Bowman Baseball #101 portrait. The intricately crafted illustration of the Bronx hero is framed by four evenly touched corners, snow white edges and accurate centering with ample surface gloss. An eye-popping treat that is worthy of prominent placement in any advanced post-war gallery."

Scans below show it in raw form and then in SGC holder as it appeared in the auction before I cracked it out. Flip will be included.

$3.9k via ppff includes USPS Express w/signature delivery.

Thanks,
Rob
