Superb 1951 Bowman Baseball Complete Set (324) with PSA 5 Mantle Rookie

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">A high quality complete set of Bowman baseball from 1951! With 324 cards and highlighted by the rookie cards of Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays, Bowman continued the &lsquo;look&rsquo; they started with the 1950 issue, this time in a slightly larger format. A little-known fact is that the initial run was supposed to be only 252 cards, but late in production,the run was expanded by 72 cards &ndash; which fortunately included Mantle and Mays! This high grade set is offered with cards graded by PSA as follows #1 Ford (VG EX 4), 2 Berra (VG 3), 7 Hodges (EX 5), 31 Campanella (EX 5), 32 Snider (EX 5), 80 Reese (NM 7), 134 Spahn (EX MT 6), 151 Doby (EX MT 6), 165 Williams (EX+ 5.5), 181 Stengel (NM 7), 198 Irvin (EX MT 6), 232 Fox (EX+ 5.5) and of course 253 Mantle (EX 5) and 305 Mays (PSA VG EX 4). Other keys include #3 Roberts (EX-MT, oc), 26 Rizzuto (NM, oc), 30 Feller (NM+, oc), 46 Kell (EX-MT), 50 Mize (NM), 53 Lemon (NM), 58 Slaughter (EX-MT), 62 Boudreau (NM), 78 Wynn (NM), 186 Ashburn (NM), 233 Durocher (NM+) and 290 Dickey (NM+). The remainder ofthe set grades 30% NM or better, 45% EX-MT, 20% EX, 5% slightly lesser. About 30% of the high numbers (and less than 10% of low numbers) are slight to moderately oc, and about 1/3 of the cards have light wax or gum stains (reverse only). Truly an awesome set of early Bowman with pack-fresh feel. Bid to win this registry-bound set!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Part of The William J.
