Non graded 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle cards could sell for a lot less typically in the $4,000.-$10,000. price range depending on condition they could sell for more. Graded cards will sell for a significant amount of money more mostly because of the many fakes on the market. Hard core collectors will only spend big money on graded cards by reputable companies such as PSA.

No one bought cards off each other, you either traded them or won them by playing colors, or *flipping them. A pack of Baseball cards cost .05 cents in 1952, and you got a stick of gum! If you didn't get a Mickey Mantle card you might have been able to trade a Yogi Berra card for two or three Mickey Mantle's. The back of Mantle's card read 13 career home runs, with a 267 average. Not the star yet, I'm sure a lot of Mantle baseball cards landed up in the spokes of bicycle tires. A common practice back in the day.
You took a baseball card, and fastened it to the frame of a bicycle with a clothes pin so that the card would hit the spokes of the tire. As you rode the bike it made a cool motorcycle like sound! Now you know why these cards are so expensive today.
*Flipping cards. - One kid takes a card, holds it between finger tips, and thumb along his side and then, with a flip of the wrist, lets it drop to the floor. If It lands, face up (heads) or face down (tails). The second kid then flips and tries to match the card. If they match he wins the cards, if not the first kid wins.
$1.50ish
