Little help for a new collector

Hello Everyone,
As everyone knows Christmas is coming up fast and I wanted to get my 12 year old cousin an "old" baseball card PSA graded in hopes to get him excited about collecting cards. I myself have shown him tons of my cards, and he's enjoyed looking at every single one of them, and hearing the stories behind all of them. So, I wanted to get him a card this year for Christmas. I want to keep the price right around $20 bucks. Anyone know of any really "neat" looking awesome old card, prefibly Pre 1970. I was thinking the 1951 Bowman Phil Massi. That's always been one of my fav's for just appreciating nice looking cards. Also, I like the Sanella Ruth. If I could find a PSA 4, or less I think that'd fit my budget. Thanks everyone! Also, if it helps, he's a die-hard Cleveland Indians fan. Maybe even an older team card?
Cheers,
Jeff

How about a 1952 Bowman Larry Doby. Nice looking card of an Indians HOF player who was also the first african american player in the american league. SMR on a 5 is $40 so you might be able to find a 4 for around $20.

Good luck, and let us know what you find.
Here are a few ideas that are closing soon.

Actually after typing this I am going to write Santa a letter and ask for a Mantle for Christmas lol.
I think the 1955 Bowman is a great design that uses real photography. Besides, Feller is probably the best Indians player in at least the last 65 years.
