Great card and image. The holy grail IMO. Best card form THE set that set the standard

I don't ever plan to own a '52 Topps Mantle, but from the moment I purchased Volume 1 of Beckett's, it has always had the mystical lure of the unattainable for me. I don't think I've ever even seen one in person.
Would I like one? Sure. Would I ever pay the required money to obtain one? Very likely not. Though, like many others here, I think it's a great card with a great history. The somewhat cartoonish depiction appeals to me as well. I would happily buy an affordable replica, though it looks like the Topps reprint reduced the size, for probably obvious reasons. I do have a replica T206 Wagner and I know that' the closest that I'll ever get to one. I could do the same with the '52 Topps Mantle. A great card. And it will likely stay that way for some time. The '52 Topps Yogi Berra seems more obtainable, maybe I'll make a realistic goal for myself and try for that one.

That's a better plan, I'll take Yogi for ~$130 over Mickey for ~$30,000 every day of the week. I really regret not picking up a Mays in 2019; My 1-310 may now become a 309 card set. Most all of the other lower number HOFers are still affordable on almost any budget if one isn't condition picky.

I see Matty has found another 52 Mantle to love on the main board

Count me in as a fan of the 52 Mantle. My thoughts are Wagner is the "it" card in the collecting world while the Mantle holds the title with the main stream public.

Somebody must like it. This one is expected to bring over $10M dollars.
