This card has been in Phil’s personal collection we affectionately call “The Vault” since 2023. There are hundreds of cards in “The Vault”. It is now available as an entry in our “Second Takes” edition. There are too many collectors that simply cannot afford an original Mantle rookie in ANY condition. That’s why this card was created, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. The stock and gloss are pure ‘51 Bowman and the reverse is the classic original.

This is the only PACK-FRESH version we will offer. It was a very time-consuming work but worth every hour. We love this card and believe you will, too. There are a total of 4 copies made.

Card comes with copy of original sketch and LOA.
