One of card collecting's classics, Mickey Mantle's #311 Topps card is the key to the 1952 set and is one of the most famous of all cards. It is the single most popular and valuable postwar baseball card. The offered example has vibrant colors, a crisp image, and light corner wear. The reverse is clean with bold printing. Encapsulated as "Authentic" by SGC. This 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle shares many characteristics with that of a higher graded example, but it has undergone numerous surface alterations that prohibit it from achieving a numerical grade. In recent years, we have seen an ever-increasing appreciation for the exceptional value offered by cards such as this example. This is a tremendous card, representing a potentially extraordinary value for the collector who wants a visually appealing 1952 Topps Mantle at a far more affordable price than a graded example with a similar appearance.
