Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA. Very attractive mid-grade example of the 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle. One of card collecting's classics, Mantle's Topps rookie card is the key to the 1952 Topps set, one of the most famous of all cards, and the single most popular and valuable postwar baseball card. The offered example has vibrant colors, outstanding registration, light corner wear, and excellent centering. The reverse is clean with bold printing. Minor condition issues include a few spots of surface wear, a tiny spot of paper loss above Mantle's hands, and a light crease that runs through the bottom right corner of the nameplate. The 1952 Topps Mantle has long been recognized as one of most iconic "blue chips" of all vintage baseball cards, and even just a glance at sales records clearly shows that over the years it has consistently risen in value in all grades. This is a strong mid-grade example of Mickey Mantle's most celebrated card. Opening Bid $25,000.
