1952 Mickey Mantle

The 1952 Mickey Mantle baseball card, The Mick’s rookie card, is one of the most sought after pieces of baseball memorabilia. That year two companies issued Mickey Mantle Rookie cards, Bowman (card number 101) and Topps (card number 311). The Bowman card is less desirable, with a mint condition card being valued at around $2500. Lesser grade cards fall off from there. The Topps card, in mint condition, has been valued at $30,000. Autographed cards, even though they were signed by Mickey Mantle, command less money. The best way to know the value of one of these cards is to have it professionally graded.
