A Modern Masterpiece! Graded GOOD 2 by PSA. A standard bearer of collecting excellence is established with the offered 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle high number. This first Topps card of the New York Yankees Hall of Fame slugger is "the face" of the revered 1952 Topps set and among the most important sports cards ever produced. As the boyhood idol to millions of youngsters, this astounding example of the switch-hitting phenom transcends the collecting hobby and is among the select few to enter the public conversation. The handsome Oklahoma native peers into his legendary future on this canvas which displays only moderate corner wear, limited surface gloss loss and an inch long crease along the upper right corner. Despite evident flaws, the majority of detractors are apart from #7's majestic portrayal. The "laces face right" reverse which proclaims Mick as "Joe DiMaggio's successor" is problem-free. A modern juggernaut that will earn its rightful place as the pinnacle of the winning bidder's collection!
