Lot Description

A 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle Rookie Baseball Card No. 311, PSA Authentic

Placed in a scrapbook for over six decades, this fresh to the market example of arguably the most important card in the hobby has been graded by PSA Authentic Altered as a result of original tape residue on the corners. Additionally, an uneven left side visible on card's back has likely contributed to the Authentic Altered grade. The color within the iconic Mantle image remains as vibrant as the day the young collector originally pulled the card from pack.
