While a mid-grade example of Mickey Mantle's 1952 Topps card is out of the question for the large majority of collectors, this 1953 Topps card might still fit within your budget, and many collectors believe that the '53 Topps Mantle is a markedly more attractive card. This is perhaps the best we've ever seen at this grade level, particularly bright with deep pigmentation and admirable centering to complement the seemingly above-grade endpoints, even the most critical of cardboard enthusiasts should be satisfied with this beauty.
