Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA. Outstanding mid-grade example of the 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle. One of the hobby's classic cards, Mantle's Topps rookie card is the key to the 1952 set, one of the most famous of all cards, and the single most popular and valuable postwar baseball card. Recently, an SGC MINT+ 9.5 example sold at public auction for $12.6 million dollars, a record for any sports item, card, or memorabilia. This card exhibits vibrant colors, a crisp image, light corner wear, and centering toward the right. Boldly printed reverse shows a few small wrinkles. This card presents a tremendous opportunity to acquire a superb example of Mickey Mantle's most celebrated card in an extremely desirable condition, yet very possibly at a fraction of the cost of a higher-grade example. Reserve $20,000.
