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 also 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-Altered" by PSA due to being trimmed along multiple edges. Also note there is a very small foreign piece affixed to the reverse (located on top of the letter "H" in CHARLES), attempting to repair an area of tape damage. 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 level than a graded example with a similar appearance.
