Description
1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311 PSA EX 5. The upper-pantheon significance of the man himself is only half the story of the most important trading card of the post-war era, the other half inhabiting a much lower altitude, the briny deep. Mantle's #311 representation launched the "high-number series" of the 1952 Topps issue, a portion of the set that fell victim to unrealistic deadlines and thus failed to meet its expected distribution quotas. Only small quantities made it to counter displays at the local five and dime, the balance ultimately towed several miles off the New Jersey shore and dumped to clear space on the warehouse floor for newer models.And so, today, the distance between supply and demand is nearly as vast as the Atlantic Ocean that serves as the final resting place for most of the original population of this iconic trading card. Presented is a gorgeous mid-grade example of this iconic collectible, featuring a virtually perfect image area and losing points only to slightly off-kilter centering and the lightest signs of storage and handling wear. Graded PSA EX 5.
