Heritage sent out the mailer not sure if it is on site yet but it is being sold by heritage, it was not dreamt up by the OP.

Here's the prices on the psacard.com site: https://www.psacard.com/auctionprice...summary/178927
I should have bought the PSA 9 at $ 240K. I had a chance years ago for a very nice one at $ 500, didn't have the money then. |

And I apologize for my "yawn." This particular copy of the doubleprinted, faux mantle rookie is actually a supreme copy with perfect centering...which is rare!
Best of luck on the sale! |
I thought WWII was over by 1952 !
|
Great card!
Good luck with it Evan!

I’ll translate Leon’s “+1”...regardless of era, a post about a card this big and important, that’ll sell for multi-million dollars, and transcends the hobby, can reside on the main board page.

At least, you will be selling into a bull market, and I see all those hedgies and private equity guys, flush with bonuses, going wild over this card. Keep my fingers crossed for you.

Oh man you outed my auction :p

I always find it funny when someone gets on their high horse about their personal opinion of valuable cardboard vs someone else's.

I wish I could afford it

Good market for the seller, and sounds like he would like to sell it. They buyer will get a great card that they want. The selling outfit makes a little money. Pretty much a Win-Win-Win for all. Best of luck to both seller and buyer.

It may be board heresy, but lay this card next to any known t206 Wagner and I would choose the Mantle for MY collection.

I'll pass on both and choose a Baltimore News Ruth instead.

Hey, Honus. How do you feel about all this fuss over a Post-War Double-Printed Non-Rookie Card?

Good Luck!
Evan-it's a beautiful card and I hope it crushes the estimates. Thanks for showing it to me at last year's national.

Honestly though, when I saw first saw this Mantle in the picture, I felt like I was sinning.
As much as I would like to simply say I'd take a nice Wagner --- I honestly think I would take this Mantle if such a choice was miraculously offered to me. There is just something about the Mantle, even though I don't collect any Topps series at all, or care for the Yankees in the slightest. I think I know what it is though - I grew up in the Beckett era, and would spend hours looking at, and dreaming about "XRC!", the italicized names, the emboldened prices that were seemingly infinitely higher than any other card in the price guide - and just a tad bit higher than my EX-MT 1990 Score Sammy Sosa that I had in my special "Cases Box". It was the 1952 Mantle and the 1984-85 Star Michael Jordan that held that lore for me. So, even though I now collect T206 and other Pre-War Cubs - it still isn't enough to overcome the overall nostalgia of scouring over every new Beckett price guide to see the unattainable cards from years that not even my dad experienced. Combine that with stories from my grandpa about Mantle, Williams, and there you have it: nostalgia bias. |

I had a Mantle once, just a PSA 1, so I could say I owned one. And that was kind of fun, but it's not a card that I ever would have cared much about except for other people's opinions. I like owning rookie cards of the top players, I like owning rare cards, and I like owning cards I find aesthetically pleasing. But the '52 Topps Mantle isn't any of those, and neither is the T206 Wagner. I'd be happy to own either one of course, but I'd rather have the money.

I'll take them all, they're all great cards. How do you know any of them are not altered? If you're going to throw around words like that on the most valuable thing I own I'm afraid I'm triggered and will have to request that you identify yourself in your posts per forum rules. |
Beautiful card!
Good luck. I hope you get more than you are hoping to get. |

A collector may prefer other cards from different eras but that is their choice. To each their own. Differing opinions are what makes the hobby interesting. |
