Two 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311 Baseball Cards (Reverse View)

Shown are the backs of two 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie cards (card #311), which is widely considered the most iconic post-war baseball card in existence. Each card displays the standard vertical orientation for the reverse side, featuring a salmon-red header area containing the player's full name, 'Mickey Charles Mantle', alongside personal statistics and biographical data such as birth date (Oct. 20, 1931) and physical specs. Below the header is a descriptive paragraph detailing Mantle's status as Joe DiMaggio's successor and his performance records with the Yankees and their minor league affiliates. A detailed statistical grid follows, showing his Major and Minor League batting records. The cards are printed on thick, cream-colored cardstock common for the 1952 Topps High Number series. This particular set of images shows both cards housed in protective semi-rigid plastic holders. From the reverse view, the centering on both cards appears generally consistent with mid-grade examples, though corner sharpness and paper surface condition cannot be fully verified without front-side inspection. The top-left corner of each card's reverse includes the 'T.C.G. PRTD. IN U.S.A.' copyright mark. Given the extreme popularity of this specific card, professional grading (PSA, SGC, or BGS) is essential to verify authenticity and determine market value.
