It most likely is a doctored scan/label.

The card is a 1996 Topps reprint graded by SGC as a SGC98.

The SGC Label originally read something like this

1996 TOPPS
#311 MICKEY MANTLE
1952 TOPPS

it was photoshoped to look like this (in scan notice the "96" was obviously changed to "52")

1952 TOPPS
#311 MICKEY MANTLE



authentic 1952 cards will have a label like this

1952 TOPPS
#311 MICKEY MANTLE
ROOKIE High#

Here is the card that is in the slab.
