Mickey Mantle – 1952 Topps
Mickey Mantle appears again. Mickey Mantle was born in Spavinaw, Oklahoma, and he was one of the Yankees’ players who remained with the team his entire career. He was the archetypal baseball player that everyone adored. Whitney Ford added, “He was a superstar who never acted like one. He was a modest man who had a great deal of joy.”
Mantle overcame a series of injuries to become a star. On average, he was a switch hitter who hit 28 Home Runs and 98 RBIs each season. His 1952 Topps graded 6 or 7 is worth $700,000, while one in excellent condition can sell for more than $2,500,000! It is the second most valuable card on our list, officially.
