Authentic Mantle Rookie! For those who were previously "priced out" of the exploding 1952 Topps Baseball #311 Mickey Mantle rookie market, the offered example definitely fits the bill! No second mortgage needed for this legendary high number that was well "loved" by its original owner(s). Most noticeably, this "Mick" is entirely trimmed around the perimeter. Additionally, the front exhibits moderate scuffing, creasing and additional handling. The "laces face left" reverse is problem-free. Despite the lack of a holder, this instantly recognizable "Commerce Comet" is 100% the real deal!
