Tracking all of the Signed 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle Cards in PSA’s Population Report

At the 2025 National in Chicago, Heritage Auctions noted that only 21 Mickey Mantle signed 1952 Topps cards appear in PSA’s Population Report—and they had two on display.

That inspired me to track down as many of those 21 as possible. This article includes photos and recent sales info for each example I’ve found. I’ll keep updating it as more surface or change hands. If you know of one not listed, let me know; this is a slice of hobby history worth documenting.

First, here’s a re-creation of the Pop Report table for PSA/DNA Certified 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle cards (current as of: 4 August 2025).

A collector on X shared this Authentic Auto 8 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle card with me. Please let me know if you have any sales data on it.
