The 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311 is widely recognized as the epitome of post-war baseball card collecting. This copy, graded VG 3 by PSA, is exceptionally well-centered, with bright cyan background tones and bold red-and-yellow team badge accents framing the iconic portrait. Its centering gives it eye appeal well beyond the grade, and few examples at VG 3 show comparable balance. The PSA population report records 209 copies evaluated at the VG 3 grade. This card stands as an investment-grade sports asset.
Issued as card #311, this landmark entry kicked off Topps' high-number series in its inaugural annual baseball set, introducing the large-format 2-5/8 by 3-1/2 inch card dimensions that established the modern industry standard. Mantle finished his career as a 20-time All-Star, three-time American League MVP, and seven-time World Series champion before entering the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974.Show more
