For the record, while the price of the green Cobb has drastically escalated, its only those somewhat scare “dead-centered” and rich green background examples that are realizing the super high price tags.

excellent points. anyone who thinks that 20-30 cards of any t206 cobb is a "hoard" doesn't understand how many t206s exist.

52 Mantles at least in midgrade seem to have come down back towards the earth. I could be wrong but I don't think we'll see 4s selling for 50 or even 60K for quite some time.

I'd take the wager that a dead-centered PSA 4 with a great image hits 50k— in the right setting, i.e., Heritage, REA, etc.

I sold my crispy clean SGC 50 Green Cobb two years ago, and have been really sweating the rising prices. I was SHOCKED when it was resold by Goodwin just a couple of weeks ago for "only" $6,400. The reason -- CENTERING!

Top to bottom centering like this never bothered me on a T206, but it obviously keeps this card out of the stratosphere!

The company that hosts our servers is currently experiencing a major outage. Fixing it and going back online is their primary concern right now. We are in constant contact with our auction hosting provider and the support team at the server company, and we are hopeful there will be a speedy resolution.

Nicely centered SGC 5 ‘52 Topps Mantle now over $50K....and counting! You are spot on Matty!

Such a difficult card to find nicely centered in that mid grade area with only minor flaws. That is a real nice example.

What do you all do, drop your standards from 5-6 grade and start looking at 2-4 grade stuff?.

Thanks for the thoughtful post, Marc. If the Lummis Ashburn card would ever climb to $62,000, I would hope that a Puddinhead Jones card from the set would at least hit low five figures the way Stanky and Konstanty Topps All-Star cards have. ;) I bought my Jones card on eBay from John Rumirez; he wrote me that he has been working on the set for 30 years and only has nine of the 12 Lummis Peanut Butter cards.

I know there is also another member on this board who has a Lummis Ashburn card.
