My vintage card of the week: The 1953 Bowman Mickey Mantle. I’m sure I’m in the minority here, but I much prefer this Bowman card to the ’53 Topps card. I just side with the full color image of the young Mick over the painting. Lucky for me—my preference saved me a bunch of money! The Bowman card is about twice as rare as the Topps card but only brings about half as much in the market.
