Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Graded FAIR 1.5 by SGC. One of card collecting's classics, Mickey Mantle's #311 Topps 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. This well-centered card has bold colors, outstanding registration, and slightly rounded corners. Scattered creasing and wrinkles along with minor surface wear on the front contribute to the assigned grade. In recent years we have seen an ever-increasing appreciation for the exceptional value offered by cards such as this example. This card presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a visually appealing example of Mickey Mantle's most celebrated card in an extremely desirable condition, yet very possibly at a small fraction of the cost of a higher-grade example with the same eye appeal. Opening Bid $5,000.
