I'd suggest you just go to ebay and search "Mantle PSA". Go to where the prices start to be around $200 and see what you like. I did that and saw a wide variety of possibilities. If you don't mind if it's Mantle with someone else, you might consider the 1957 Mantle/Berra. Or the 1958 Mantle/Aaron "World Series Batting Foes". Both of those are iconic cards. You should be able to get a nice condition 1958 Mantle AS for that price, or a lower condition 1959 Mantle, or a higher condition later 60's card. You really just have to balance the condition against the price and decide which your friend would prefer and what is the best value. Once you decide on the specific card, then you can search other TPG company offerings on ebay and you may find something you feel is a real bargain for the grade.

Stole my thunder!
You can certainly get one in a PSA/SGC 7 slab for just about that. If he is not a collector, but would appreciate a Mick, get him a near mint example - this is the one.

I think a lower grade 1954 Bowman would be a solid option. He isn't a collector, so he probably doesn't care as much about condition. And, this is a great early image of Mantle.

Or the all star from the same year.

Many great choices. Almost any 60s Mantle can be obtained in a psa 5 or 6 for 200 bucks. Personally I would go for the 57t Mantle / Berra combo card if he's also a Yankee fan. If not open to a dual player I would get a 60 or 62.
