'52 Mantle ~ From Russia with Love
 
I'm sure some of you saw this, but I couldn't resist posting.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1952-Topps-3...item3cf5d07977

I particularly like the part where the seller says "Its not been professionally graded so I am listing it as a reprint." despite the SGC holder in the image.

I like the fact that the holder says 1952 Toops

You mean the SGC holder that lists it as a 1952 TOOPS card?

Robert, we are mind melded, apparently.

"Toops" - I love it!

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George is playing Trivial Pursuit with the Bubble Boy, and the answer is supposed to be Moors, but the card says "Moops" is the answer. "Moops!" "Moors; it's a misprint!"

It was probably graded at the Russian branch of SGC.:D

It has been about a year or two ago but a seller from Russia was selling a PSA graded 1952 Toops Mickey Mantle. I am sure it was discussed on here.
