1953 Topps 82 Mickey Mantle for sale RAW gem
 

Up for sale is an authentic 1953 Topps 82 Mickey Mantle RAW. Centering is dead on, corners are slightly rounded, there are two chips on the outer white border, and no there was not a number 2 written on the back top right corner. That is a weird illusion from the camera I'm not an expert, but from what I've seen and researched I would imagine PSA would grade it around a 2. Pictures are attached, local pick up is preferred, but I am willing to explore safe shipping and payment options.

Asking price $1,800.00 OBO

PSA is NOT grading that a 4 or 5. Not with corners like that.

this should be in the BST...not the main page.

ya more likely would grade a 2

okay thanks i'll update

Welcome to the board. Might be easier to post an asking price than claim it's a 4-5 when it s a 2-2.5

Do you guarantee it will grade and not be altered?....hahaha...just a little off topic humor.

ZING! Is this the next viral saying on this board? Like Budweiser's "What's UPPPPP?"

Why would I alter it? My cards are genuine. Also, like I said, I'm not an expert. I'm looking to sell a nice card. I'm not claiming it's a 4-5. I will edit that to a 2-3. You guys are sensitive. If anyone is interested in making an offer please reply. Thanks.

The reason we're sensitive is that you're a new person nobody knows posting a card for sale on the DISCUSSION BOARD for PRE-WAR CARDS and highly overexaggerating the condition. You should be a little more apologetic. Click the red triangle button to report your own post and have it moved to the Buy/Sell/Trade section.

Or just ask the mods to delete it and start from scratch. Maybe use your first real post to introduce yourself without selling anything yet. Oh, and once you start stating any kind of opinion, you have to post your full name here.... Have a good one.

Edit: and how would we do local pickup when you don't even list a location? You need some assistance learning how to sell things on the internet.

Not here to make friends. I'm here to sell my cards. If i could edit this post I would. It's a learning curve. Chill out man.

Edit: Also, I have no desire to give out my name or location to people like you. That's my right. I'm not here to scam. I'm here to learn the forum and sell my cards. I don't quite understand the rude reception and bullying. Anyone interested will privately message me, and only then will they receive details about my items for sale and their location. Have a nice day buddy.

Wow.

Good thing you're not here to make friends because that would be a bad start.

Beware all...friends are just fiends hiding their ill intentions with a 'r'.

Brian

Adrian?

eBay may be your best outlet if you don't want to "make friends". This board is community first, BST second.

That's generous with the paper loss, staining and indentations.

When i first read the description i thought it was a joke, guess not based on replies.

That card will grade a 1. Maybe a 1.5 tops on a great day.

...and welcome to the board :)

Maybe GEM will grade it a 4?

I was away for a few hours and/or just didn't pay any attention to this thread. However, this is quite entertaining for the moment. LOL.,...

I think it's a nice card and I like the centering on it. I am going to say it's a '2'.

I agree
 

This was my laugh of the day. Like, amazing back and forth.

Peace and love to all and stay healthy.That's what counts.

Wow. I'm thinking that's a 1 or 1.5 tops.

RAW. Centering is dead on, corners are slightly rounded, and two minor chips on the outer white border. I'm not an expert, but from what I've seen and researched I would imagine PSA would grade it between a 4-5...

Kevin Mize??

3 At best. Jeez these crazy kids today, trying to flip cards :D

If you can read the name, it's a 6 at minimum.

If that's the case, I might have a few 9's and 10's in my collection. I guess I'm rich now!

Yeah, it almost feels like this is programmed entertainment for the board. Wonder what we get after this thread hits 10k views too!!! :)

That's good, because you aren't.

"Not here to make friends."


And as it happens....I only buy from "friends" :D

Yeah, good luck with that.

I guess that means paying via PayPal “Friends & Family” is out for this transaction.

I'd like to get a look at the Jackie in the picture also. Seems to have at least one rounded corner very similar to the Mick.

Take it

LMAO. This thread is on fire this afternoon!

I don't know. This could be a brilliant sales approach. How many PM's do you think he has received?

Yeah it's hilarious. How can I edit my post? I can't seem to find that option.

Bottom right corner, click on the EDIT button.

You can also request the forum moderator, Leon, to move your post to the appropriate bst section. Or, let this one die and repost yourself. This community is gun shy to these types of posts, but also highly judgemental based on past experiences. Might want to ease in with an introduction as a new member first.

I’ll give the seller credit for accurately describing the card’s defects. However, I think a 4 to 5 grade is a little generous, assuming the card is even authentic.

I wish the seller good luck. He may have difficulty selling ungraded four figure cards without a name, location, or someone vouching for him.

I'm just sitting here at the keyboard LMAO. Where do these people come from?

Kamikaze sales approach?

I would guess a 1.5 to 2. It's a nice looking card.

Edit....didn't see the little paper loss on the border. 1 to 1.5
.

I wanna bring the heater, and announce my presence with authority.

Lol. Yeah. I would bet $50 he has offers in his pm though. It's the cat to antifreeze syndrome. Dangerous, but damn it tastes good.

I might be interested but the zipper is broken on my fanny pack and I can't get to my wallet.

Robert Williams thanks for not being so unreasonable. The card is nice and they know it. I've looked at various PSA graded Mantle topps 82 cards and have seen 2-3 grades in far worse condition. Let's call it a 2. What is a serious buyer willing to pay for this card in your opinion?

...and I just spent the last of my cash on tanning and hair plugs. Bummer.

I would guess in the $700-$800 range.

I’m trying to unwind for the night and this thread has me cracking up. I won’t be able to sleep for an hour.

Ben I saw a PSA 2 that just sold on ebay for $1,800..

Should show more of that Jackie, could be a 7 or 8

It’s difficult to sell something if you don’t list a price. What is your asking price? I’m not going to bid against myself, and am not in the business of pricing another man’s merchandise.

Yes but that is already in a PSA slab, big difference.

Let's just say I enjoy watching you low ball me. Humor me Tyruscobb. What would you offer me if you really wanted this card?? It's really not difficult.

Why? From what I've read there are some buyers who prefer ungraded cards and they can still sell for what a graded card would sell for. You guys are so paranoid. Believe it or not, not everyone who comes through this forum is a scam artist. My cards are authentic. They were given to me by my grandfather.

WOW! You read that??????

Nobody pays graded prices for raw cards. Plus cards usually sell for less if not sold on eBay. ebay charges 13-15% to sell on there so a seller can make more cash while selling at a cheaper price. Also i don't collect Mantle so like I posted it was a guess.

Post some pics with prices in the BST section. If priced too low they sell within minutes. If priced properly they sell within hours. If priced to high they can be listed for years with no buyers.

This seems like too much of a coincidence. Did these cards from from grandpa Mize?

Then you should say that. And it helps to walk into a room and get the lay of the land before you do anything. Just like walking into a nightclub, Get a sense of where you're at and see how what "you" do and what "they" do is different or similar, then find common ground with people.

I'm sure your grandfather would be shaking his head at your bull in the China shop approach.

You might be a nice guy and a great addition to this forum but your everything is a nail approach doesn't sell well here.

A bit of humility and respect goes a long way.

Yea I did. Dean's cards wrote an article about it. Are you all affiliated with PSA or something. You guys are intense. Just trying to learn about baseball card values and how to sell. You won't discourage me. Someone wants my collection. Move along if you're not interested.

I wouldn’t offer you one nickel for that card. The uniformly rounded corners are a red flag for me. Plus, I already own a graded one. I don’t need to gamble on an ungraded card from someone I do not know. Easy pass for me personally, but good luck.

I've been respectful. If you're not interested in purchasing my cards go away.

Thanks Ben. I appreciate the knowledge.

I guess my question is why not put a price on it if your selling it ?

Isn't this one of the more commonly graded Mantles? Maybe not that many ungraded examples out there for sale I would guess.

Most would ask why not get it graded first?

Although I may be wrong, and am answering without first checking a pop report, I wouldn’t think it is anywhere near the most commonly graded Mantles. It is actually a short printed card and a rarer Mantle.

Getting the card graded in today’s environment could take 6 months. If he seriously wants to sell his collection and expose it to the most bidders, he should list it on a certain auction website. That way he doesn’t have to worry about setting a price. The free market will set it for him.

Alternatively, he could take pictures and post the cards on this site’s BST section. You can tell he doesn’t have much experience. This is why he can’t sell the card. He doesn’t know how to price it, and wouldn’t even know a good offer for it. He won’t accept anything less than amount no reasonable person on this site will pay. Waste of time.

There is a "2" written/possibly erased on the back at the top/right beside Mantle's name.

It may be the scan but that same corner looks touched up in red marker.

Once again the coloring could be the scan but the 2 written/erased will make the card SGC 1.5 or a PSA 1.5 or 2 mk

Raw: $800-$1000
Graded: $1600-1800

Seriously...there are a ton of buyers here(me included) but you will find that we always post prices. We get that you are new here and learning the process which is fine; we are happy to have another collector. Bottom line; just put your asking price out there and you may be surprised on the responses you get:

Also; What else is in the collection?

Thanks!

I do see that. So probably $600-800 ungraded and $1000-1200 graded 1.5

Why hasn’t this post been moved to BST yet?

Besides the fact that it is extremely entertaining. I think we should give the original poster a chance, and he has been respectful. Although I laughed at the 4-5 grade and no price. Chalk it up to a Learning curve. Also I agree post a price next time, but I don’t feel that’s a requirement. Especially if an item is rare. This 53 mantle is not. VERY hard to sell Raw online especially not from a established member with a history. GLWTS

Go away man. Your Gpa who owned that card would be ashamed of your behavior.

Hyperbolic style of selling but only poppycock :p

LOL - The reference is too another thread that seems to have "blown up" on the board.... kind of an inside attempt at jocularity (great word huh?)
