Mickey Mantle Prime Card Art

The card art for The Micks prime card is his 1952 Topps Rookie card. He was 19 during his rookie season. Why wouldn't you use card art that depicts his age 24 season?

Because his 52 rookie is more iconic probably.

That's what I figured. His in game rookie card is his 51 bowman and the age on the back is correct.

Because it’s a beautiful card. Haha.

My post wasn't t really a complaint. It was more of an observation and a question but thanks for your input.

His 52 Rookie card is worth several hundred thousand. A PSA 10 could potentially surpass Honus's price tag.
