1952 #311 Topps Mantle error 1/1 Psa authentic

[Popcorn]

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

What is the error?

Back is #311 Overprint on a #310. It’s on the psa pop report. Pretty cool, never seen one like it.

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.

What’s the PSA cert number?

Who knows if this will load properly, but there was a Ruth and Gehrig wrong back duo a while ago. These were clean prints on back, sounds like the Mantle back is an overprint with another player…really messy style?

Those Ruth, Gehrig cards are pretty cool. Don’t believe I’ve ever seen those before. Almost looks like some kinda printers scrap you see with t206 cards usually.

Woof, this is the kind of mess I suspected. Will it bring even the $1500 opening bid???








ETA: A Jackie Robinson also.

WOW, that is a mess, as a novelty item I would pay a few hundred at best.

It should get the opening bid and on a good day double that. I wish the seller the best and I hope I am proven wrong with an outrageously high winning bid.

[raulus]

Woof is right. But best of luck to the consignor!

[swarmee]

While listed as a 1952 Topps, PSA was smart not to give it a card number. So it can't count as a Mantle #311 for the registry.

[Popcorn]

it is an ugly ass card lol no arguments here. some dudes collect rarity and oddballs so its not for everyone. hoping nobody bids tbh

[Lucas00]

Its pretty cool even if disappointing to members who thought it would be something else.. Lol.

If it started at $1 in an auction I'd have guessed it might sell for $1000 even.

Why would someone skin off the back? I don't get what that would do. I am more in it got rid of all the guys thinking of removing the ink on the front to make it a blank front. My thinking on that is a blank front 52 Mantle would be worth way more than a wrong back with a common on the front.

Perhaps someone has one with a nice front and are trying to build one that looks good - i’m probably wrong and it don’t happen - I guess seeing 19 century cards skinned and rebacked May have cloud my thinking but we’re talking about a very valuable card

That makes sense. Never thought about that.

Nothing against bbce but not the best place to auction cards. Sealed wax? definitely. I just don't think it got as many eyes as it should've. I personally didn't even know bbce had an auction.
