Got $2.9 Million for a PSA 9 Mantle rookie? What about $300K+ for a PSA 8? Those seeking an original Mantle rookie without needing to win the lottery will be well served to bid on the offered 1952 Topps Baseball #311 rookie high number. Graded Authentic by SGC due to microscopic trimming along the top and bottom edges. This elite sports card otherwise presents mid-grade with soft corners and a pair of creases near the middle and lower right edge. Exhibits relatively accurate centering and the image of the pinstriped hero retains an ample portion of the original surface gloss. Additionally, the "laces face left" reverse is problem-free with bold text. With Mantle rookies in perpetual "skyrocket" mode, this may be a fleeting opportunity to secure a viable example with outstanding eye appeal.
