Lot # 30: 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle SGC Authentic

Graded Authentic (Altered) by SGC. An All-American classic is available with the offered 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle high number. As an undisputed "Mount Rushmore" sports card that often transcends the hobby into the public conversation, this first Topps example of the New York Yankees Hall of Fame phenom is desirable across the condition spectrum. Obvious condition factors abound including perimeter modifications, a pinkish scrawl across Mick's facsimile signature and acute paper loss/residue on the "laces face right" reverse. Despite such acute wear, the famous portrayal of the five-tool legend glancing over his right shoulder into his Cooperstown future is immediately recognizable. For those seeking to finally close-out their 1952 Topps project, this #7 premiere is a realistic option at a reachable price point.
