1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311 Baseball Card Reprint

This item is a modern reproduction or 'reprint' of the iconic 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311 baseball card. The card features the classic portrait of Mantle looking upward with a bat over his shoulder against a vibrant blue background, housed within a clear plastic top-loader for protection. Physically, it mirrors the standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch trading card dimensions. Notable features include the New York Yankees logo in a yellow box, a facsimile signature, and the 'Topps 52' logo in the upper right corner, which is a specific indicator of a modern commemorative reissue rather than an original 1952 vintage issue. The card appears to be in 'mint' or 'near-mint' condition with sharp corners, bright white borders, and centered registration, lacking the natural toning, cardboard stock texture, or edge wear associated with a 70-year-old original. The printing quality is high, utilizing modern glossy finishes and CMYK process dots. While visually striking and a popular collectible for fans of the 'Commerce Comet,' its value is significantly lower than a genuine 1952 original due to its status as a contemporary tribute piece produced by Topps in later years.
