Estimated Market Value
$15.00 - $35.00
Recent Sales
These cards frequently sell on eBay and other secondary markets for between $10 and $30. Higher-tier grading (PSA/BGS) generally yields slightly higher prices, but WCG graded copies typically sell at the lower end of the spectrum.
Condition Details
The card is enclosed in a WCG (World Class Grading) holder graded GEM-MT 10. Visually, the gold foil appears uniform with sharp corners and clean edges typical of this manufactured commemorative product.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for re-grading. This is a mass-produced commemorative gold foil reprint. The current WCG grade is appropriate for this type of collectible, and the cost of cross-grading to PSA or BGS would likely exceed the card's market value.
Card Description
The card features the iconic 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle rookie design rendered in sculpted 22K gold foil. It depicts Mantle in his New York Yankees uniform with a bat over his shoulder, a Yankees logo in the bottom corner, and a facsimile signature.
Notable Features
22K gold foil composition, serial numbered, officially licensed by Topps, utilizes the 1952 Topps design which is one of the most famous cards in the hobby.
Authentication Notes
The card is authenticated and graded by WCG. Signs of authenticity for this specific release include the specific embossing depth and the certificate of authenticity information usually found on the reverse side.
