There is not much that can be said about the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle that has not already graced the pages of hobby periodicals, auction catalogs, or collectors' musings already. Simply put, it is one of the iconic cards of the hobby--a holy grail for many and a card portraying one of the game's greatest talents. This particular card, graded SGC 40, presents exceptionally well and possesses many of the characteristics collectors search for in higher graded examples while offering a chance to obtain the card at a fraction of the price. Nicely centered with bold color, this card displays natural, even corner wear that does not disrupt the edges or create an unsightly flaw. The back is equally as presentable with the full text remaining free of wear. For a card graded VG--a grade where there can be so much variance in eye appeal and flaws--this card undeniably presents at the higher end of the scale. A phenomenal opportunity to add this Mantle to your collection.
