Graded POOR 1 by SGC (submitted by REA). Modestly graded example of 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle. One of card collecting's great classics, Mantle's #311 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. The offered card displays bright colors, moderate corner wear and centering toward the bottom left. Graded POOR 1 by SGC due to a number of condition issues including surface wear, scattered creasing, and a stray ink line on the reverse. 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 a very presentable yet comparatively affordable example of the most popular and desirable postwar card ever produced. Reserve $2,500.
