Graded VG+ 3.5 by SGC. Very attractive 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle. One of card collecting's classics, Mantle's Topps rookie card is the key to the set, one of the most famous of all cards, and the single most popular and valuable baseball card. It has beautiful colors, a crisp image, and even wear to the corners. The reverse is clean with bold printing. A small patch of surface wear on the front contributes to the assigned grade. The 1952 Topps Mantle has long been recognized as one of the most iconic "blue chips" of all vintage baseball cards, and a glance at sales records shows that over the years it has consistently risen in value in all grades. This 1952 Topps Mantle presents a particularly significant collecting and investing opportunity as it is a strong mid-grade example. Designated as Above Average by Fanatics Collect for high-end eye appeal. A corresponding Fanatics sticker is affixed to the back of the holder.
