Default 1952 #311 Topps Mantle error 1/1 Psa authentic
Pretty cool authentic Mantle 52 Topps error card authenticated by Psa coming to auction soon by bbce auctions. True 1/1 error of one of the greatest players to ever play in the game. Never seen an iconic card discovered like this before. Maybe the Thomas NNOF lol

I guess we'll see how many of the Mantle guys out there care. It does seem like error cards are their own little universe, with a lot of people staying away from them, but a small and passionate group going nuts for them.

Naturally, being on the 311 Mantle adds an extra layer of excitement, simply because most everyone seems to want one, and yet this one is very different than all the rest.

A high series (311-407) overprint on a card from a different series? That sounds odd...

Mantle’s on the back of a Metkovich but odd thing is that there is no Metkovich on the back, just mantle and another 52’ Player.

Is this your card Chris?

So this is a 1952 Topps Metkovich card with a #311 Mantle back?

If so then it's not really a Mantle card. It's a Metkovich card with a wrong back.

Please post the link to the auction when it hits. Thanks.

Exactly what I thought, this is a #310 with a wrong back. Not the other way around.

For what possible reason would PSA authenticate this? It's not a recurring error, and it's not checklisted anywhere. Seems like a ridiculous overreach of their service.

it was slabbed “authentic” because it’s an authentic 52 Topps card. it’s in the pop reports. thought it was a pretty cool card.

Authentic #310 or Authentic #311?

yes could be considered a Metkovich error with Mantle on the back, makes sense.

It’s something they do pretty commonly. Not sure why it would be an overreach for them to slab it and call it authentic. Similar to this piece.

Not intending to knock the card.

Even if it is a Metkovich with a Mantle back, that is pretty cool and it would definitely sell for a premium over your typical Metkovich. It should be interesting to watch the auction.
