1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle. Graded VERY GOOD 3 by BVG. Subgrades: Centering 3.5, Corners 3, Edges 6.5, and Surface 2.5.  Mantle's 1952 Topps card is perhaps the most iconic baseball card in the world and, like the T206 Honus Wagner, is one of the very few cards that transcends the hobby.  The demand for Mantle's 1952 Topps card, in all grades, remains at an all-time high.  As a result, the card has been appreciating in value at a remarkable pace in recent years, making it one of the true "blue chip" assets in the field of baseball memorabilia. (High-grade examples now routinely sell for more than one million dollars at auction.)  This version of the card is off center left to right, and, to a lesser degree, top to bottom, but is otherwise an attractive example of a Mantle 1952 Topps, with a clean reverse. The offered card represents a visually appealing mid-grade example for any collector seeking to own the most significant postwar baseball card in the hobby.
