1952 TOPPS Mickey Mantle
1st.....as a dedicated "SET collector".....Yes, this card is '"OVER-PRICED" (and so are most other Star cards in this hobby, nowadays).
"OVER-HYPED"....as a long-time Yankees fan, who saw him play, 1951-1968, I do not think so. Mantle generated a special excitement very similar to Babe Ruth. 2nd.....I guess I'm one of the few guys on this forum who have experienced the thrill of pulling a Mantle card from a TOPPS wax-pack in the Fall of 1952. The two Mantle cards from my Master 1952 TOPPS set...... Type 1 .................................................. .............……............. Type 2  . .  Here are the original 4 cards in my 5-cent pack with the above Mantle  3rd.....A couple of you have alluded to the "$3000 sale of a Mantle in 1980. Actually, it was 3 - Mantle cards sold for $3000 each that year. Two young dealers, Bob and Rob, from the Philadelphia area who operated a monthly Auction in Warrington (PA) sold them. Prior to that sale, the 1952 TOPPS Mantle was selling for $500 (ExMt). TED Z T206 Reference .
