What if Topps Never Made ...
... a Mickey Mantle card in their 1952 series, how would the hobby look like today? Remember, this is the card that is responsible for transforming the entire hobby. When it first sold for $1,000, $2,500 and later $5,000, these were unheard of prices back then. Since then, a lot of cards have been following its path, however, the 52' Topps Mantle still leads the way.
Without the 1952 Topps Mantle, do you think his 1953 Topps card would have gotten all the love instead? What about his 1951 Bowman rookie? And then there is his 1952 Bowman card that rarely gets mentioned these days. And finally, if Mantle didn't have a card in the famous 1952 Topps series, then do you think he would still be the most collected athlete like he is today?
