Graded FAIR 1.5 by SGC (submitted by REA). Attractive low-grade example of 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle. This legendary card has always been one of the great classics of card collecting. The offered example presents well with a bright image, honest corner wear, and centering slightly toward the left. A pinhole at the top of Mantle's cap and a couple of light wrinkles also factor into the modest assigned grade. The reverse is boldly printed. The most iconic cards such as the 1952 Topps Mantle always have tremendous interest to collectors in all grades. In fact, while lower-grade examples are naturally more affordable, it is precisely for this reason that lower-grade examples of important cards often have even more collectors interested in them! This card will undoubtedly be of enormous appeal to collectors looking to acquire an exceptionally attractive, yet comparatively affordable, example of the most popular and desirable postwar card ever produced. Reserve $5,000.
