Had a discussion a couple a years ago with a board member who felt the buy in for a m101 Ruth be a $100k before long. Guess he was right.

My dad said he heard a 1957 Topps Mantle PSA 10 either sold or is being offered for 1/2 a million dollars.

I keep setting money aside to pick up a low grade '52 Mantle. After every auction I feel I fall farther behind since the values increase. This is truly driving me crazy. I doubt I'll ever be able to own one at this rate.

With only one 10, the owner will demand a lot for it.

I have heard PSA is really stingy nowadays on giving out important, low pop 10s. I think there is still a lot of great 1950s to 1970s cards sitting in almost new condition and unknown to us today.

* "almost new" is a new grade I just made up. Thank you very much.

The consensus is that PSA has been stingy on handing out the right grades to the average submitter on low pop or important cards for a very long time. For the last year or so they have been overly tight assessing your basic high grade material--in post war that means 8s or better. Of course they will deny the grading standards have changed at all.

The link was for a PSA 6, but the OP noted a PSA 5? A PSA 6 sold for $204K about a year ago. The linked PSA 6 is a little rougher. Unless I misunderstood, card appears to be going down in value, not up.

If I were psa I would be stingy. That will mean more cracks and resubs, as well as being price supportive of the cards and the flip.

Exactly Dennis. That is what has been going on. There is really no incentive to get it right the first few times.

My favorite card. Mine is a PSA 5 which works out better for my budget.

No you are misunderstood. A PSA 5 Ruth sporting news rookie sold recently for $191k in heritage auctions which is more than double SMR as SMR for a PSA 5 is $95k.

SMR for a PSA 6 Ruth sporting news rookie is $195k. If one were to sell in auction it would probably sell for at least $400k.

So the Ruth 1916 M101 sporting news rookie is exploding upwards in value.

It sold right away so someone thought it was a good buy. I agree. The 51 mays psa 7 for 11k was nice too.
