Always an exceptionally popular and hence valuable card, the Mick's 1953 Topps issue will always be a bargain when compared to the previous year's counterpart. Many collectors, however, feel that the aesthetics of the '53 release are in fact superior to the 1952 production. Offered here is a solid, very appealing example, graded EX 5 by the Newport Beach evaluators. Colors remain fresh and vivid, amplified by a sufficient dosage of original factory gloss, and corners fall well within the standards for the given grade. The reverse is clean and blemish-free, adding even more appeal. Overall, an excellent pickup for any avid Mantle enthusiast or 1953 Topps set builder.
