It's not a great rendering (eg the eyes) and whatever isn't quite reproduced, IMO, makes it lose a lot of resemblance. Sure, it's still him, but in a cartoonish short of way.

This card actually shows very well where it needs to imo. Better eye appeal to me than one that looks like it got ran over and every inch is creased.

I don't ever plan to own a '52 Topps Mantle, but from the moment I purchased Volume 1 of Beckett's, it has always had the mystical lure of the unattainable for me. I don't think I've ever even seen one in person.

Would I like one? Sure. Would I ever pay the required money to obtain one? Very likely not. Though, like many others here, I think it's a great card with a great history. The somewhat cartoonish depiction appeals to me as well. I would happily buy an affordable replica, though it looks like the Topps reprint reduced the size, for probably obvious reasons. I do have a replica T206 Wagner and I know that' the closest that I'll ever get to one. I could do the same with the '52 Topps Mantle. A great card. And it will likely stay that way for some time.

The '52 Topps Yogi Berra seems more obtainable, maybe I'll make a realistic goal for myself and try for that one.

That's a better plan, I'll take Yogi for ~$130 over Mickey for ~$30,000 every day of the week. I really regret not picking up a Mays in 2019; My 1-310 may now become a 309 card set. Most all of the other lower number HOFers are still affordable on almost any budget if one isn't condition picky.
