Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA. Hall of Famer. Mickey Mantle is revealed here – in his debut Topps gum card appearance – on one of the most widely cherished pieces in the collectibles industry. This scarce “High Number” entry displays fresh, splendid coloration. The subject's background field concedes tiny traces of superficial wear (and a few specks in the all-important player image), but, overall, the piece's surface gloss remains impressive. The card's graphic elements – team logo and caption block – are unblemished. The back is unimpaired, and the still-sharp corners and edges show mild and uniformly distributed evidence of respectful circulation. This is a very tempting and attractive piece which is ideal for the middle-grade 1952 Topps set that so many enthusiasts aspire to complete. An eye-pleasing copy of a universally treasured Rookie Card, in Very Good to Excellent condition.
