I think there are several things that factor in here: '62 Topps is not a popular set, the card itself is pretty plain and Mantle's '62 year was not as impressive as '61. Still based on the low population of the '62 All Star it seems to me to be underpriced.
Re-read your post. I'm talking about the '59 Mantle, not sure upon review that you were...

The total population is similar. All 1962 Topps cards are harder than 1961 Topps cards in high grade because of the wood borders.

That could be, I don't know what the original print runs were, but for whatever reason there are sure more 61 Mantle All Stars graded than 62s. Look at PSA 6 for example, there are 562 1961s and 494 1962s. But even though there are more 61s the price is still higher, $350 on average compared to $175 for a 62.

Same with the 59 and 60 All Star cards, there are more PSA 6s out there but still the price is higher than the 62s. For the 1959 All Star there are 598 graded PSA 6 and the average price is $260. For the 1960 card there are 791 graded PSA 6 and the average price is $220.

Of all Mantle's All Star cards, the 1962 has the lowest population graded at each grade, yet the prices are also the lowest. Based on the math this card is undervalued.

The '61 Mantle AS isn't as scarce as you would think considering it's a high number, but that is a card that's a huge pain to find centered. :mad:

Finally got a clean version of one of the top 10 underrated of all time. Also now a top 10 favorite of mine!

Great pick up! I'm still kicking my ass for not purchasing one that was available on here a few years ago for peanuts! :mad:

I was very happy to pick this card up. I have been looking at it forever!! The fact he was not in the HOF was holding me back initially but in the end it didn't matter to me because in my book he is a HOFer.
