It’s a grail for so many, and then it gets flipped less than a year.
Either way, that card does have great eye appeal and nice color!

For dealers buying a 52 Topps Mantle at auction or privately, they’ll mark them up on their websites/social media, and even more so at shows to turn a healthy profit and cash out to keep the velocity of money moving expediently. For some collectors, there’s an insatiable desire to upgrade to the next grade or to the same grade but with better eye appeal.
