The gentlemen whom sold his 52 Topps Mick SGC 9.5 for $12.6M via HA last year, which he purchased from Al Rosen, said the tipping point to let go of his card was when his grandkid's friends asked him, 'Who was Mickey Mantle?' He apparently believed the current youth generation wouldn't have the same nostalgic connection as those who grew up idolizing Mick's career and post career redemption, or those who caught the baseball collecting bug in the 80s and 90s, now able to purchase this hobby icon. Will this card stand the test of time and continue to float all boats (Mick's other cards)?
