To the Baby Boomer generation, Mickey Mantle represents the golden age of baseball. His 1952 Topps card remains one of the most sought-after collectibles in the hobby. In 2018, a card graded near-mint nine sold for a staggering $3 million at auction.
This sale broke records for any card outside of the famous T206 Honus Wagner. Even cards graded between 6 and 7 can command prices reaching up to $700,000. Mantle’s legend has only grown stronger with time.
