Mickey Mantle was just a kid when he put on the Yankees uniform. In 1950, the future Hall of Famer was called up to the Major Leagues, but never saw action; Mantle was there to gain experience. In 1951, The Mick appeared in 96 games. Over the final 27 games of the 1951 season, Mantle hit six home runs. The young kid won a World Series that year, at just the age of 19. Before Topps included Mantle in their historic 1952 baseball set, Bowman was ahead of the game by placing a young Mantle in the 1951 Bowman baseball set. The top card you see is the true Mickey Mantle rookie card. The horizontal design, Mantle with the lumber, and the blue sky in the background makes for a beautiful piece of history.

Under Mantle is Willie Mays. Just a young man himself, The Say Hey Kid was 20 in 1951. This year, Mays took home the Rookie of the Year Award behind 20 home runs with the New York Giants. Probably the greatest five-tool player ever to step onto the diamond, Mays belted more home runs than Mantle (660 to 536)! Mays has a bat in his hand on the rookie card as well, and a horizontal design.

 

The set is LOADED with Hall of Famers, stars, and stunning images. As the set has 324 total cards, only 324 spots are available in this set break. Each spot your purchase guarantees you one card; nobody goes home emptyhanded! Once all the spots are purchased, we'll go live on our stream and randomize the list for you to see. After the random, if your name lands on spot number one, you take home card number one - the White Ford rookie card! If your name is in spot 253, card #253 is yours - the Mantle rookie!

Every spot you purchase will bring a vintage card from the 1951 Bowman set to your personal collection. 

Travel back to the days when you could buy gas for 19 cents and baseball games were still in black and white. The first baseball game televised in color wasn't until August 11th, 1951 when the Boston Braves took on the Brooklyn Dodgers!
