Ran across this at a bargin price, normally they sell at or above BV (which is 200)
But looking at the condition of the card, I am suprised SGC gave it a 60 (excellent 5)
Would you buy it? I am gonna contact them and offer a lower price -worth a shot

Ask trex. He's a 1962 aficianado. Personally, a little too rough for me and I'm not particularly fond of 1962, but don't let that stop you.

And your 52 Topps card on the other thread only got a 55.
Just goes to show that eye appeal counts for something at
least when buying.
KRB,
It is an ok Sgc 60. But I bet if you wait, you can get a nicer
5 at that price range. The 62 Mantle will pop up again as it
is not a rare card.

Nice card, you dont see them often and looking at VCP looks to be a bargain. PSA 2's have sold for well over $100.

Ran across this and the seller didnt know what it was. SO i told him:
http://mickey-mantle-cards.blogspot.com/2009/06/1954-1955-no-regular-issue-topps-mickey.html
It was a 1954 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SECOND TOPPS YANKEES MANTLE
Whether its original or not, I dont know, but the re-prints on Ebay are obvious.
Has anyone ever seen one of these or its value?
I found this info:
1954 & 1955: No Regular Issue Topps Mickey Mantle Cards
1954 & 1955: No Regular Issue Topps Mickey Mantle Cards
The "Lost" Mickey Mantle Card
In 1954 and 1955, Topps didn't release any regular issue Mickey Mantle cards. Bowman, their competitor, had signed exclusive agreements with several players, preventing Topps from releasing a complete set of cards. In 1956 Topps purchased Bowman and from that point forward all of their card sets were complete. This artwork from the Topps archives shows what one of the "lost" cards would have looked like.
Although Topps did not release a Mantle card as part of its regular set, they did produce a black & white Mickey Mantle card printed on paper stock instead of the normal card stock. The black & white Mantle card was produced for Sports Illustrated magazine in 1954. SI wanted to insert a complete Yankees team card set in SI issue number 2. The black & white paper cards were not limited just to Mantle. Topps manufactured black & white paper cards for a number of players that year who did not have regular cards issued.
Bad thing you can buy the whole magazine and uncut sheets from dacardworld for a lesser price-LOL
