1953 Topps Mickey Mantle #82
Baseball Cards
SGC2
The 1953 Topps Mickey Mantle #82 stands as one of the definitive vintage baseball cards of the post-war era, representing Topps' second major release and follow-up to Mantle's iconic 1952 issue. Encapsulated as an SGC 2 Good, the card showcases the hand-painted portrait artwork derived from color photography that distinguishes the 1953 set. Condition traits consistent with the numeric grade include moderate corner rounding, light surface wear, and a period red ink writing mark across the biographical text on the reverse.
Issued ahead of Mantle's third major league campaign, the reverse side details his 1952 statistics, a season in which he posted a .311 batting average with 23 home runs and 87 RBIs. Over an 18-year career with the New York Yankees, Mantle accumulated 536 home runs, earned three American League MVP awards, won seven World Series championships, and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974. The #82 card remains a major cornerstone issue among early 1950s Topps releases.Show more
