"Mickey Mantle's rookie year was 1951, and sometimes memorabilia from 1952 will reflect his rookie season as with the 1952 Topps rookie card.
A 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle is worth about $4,000.-$10,000. non graded, and graded cards will sell for a significant amount of money more at about $25,000. and as high as $75,000. depending on grade.
A 1951 Wheaties Test Issue Mickey Mantle Rookie Card in near/mint condition sells in the $2,000. price range. Other cards from this set for other ballplayers sell between $60.-$175, with the highest valued card closest to Mantle at $350.
