REA Auction - Mantle MANIA!!!

[pawpawdiv9]

I am looking at one...Read the description on one..says be touched up and can see with black light and trimmed all around- EEKS Who does that?
I got several cards i am watching in fact. Many that my wallet may not afford.
And YES its the 52's --- and REA auction is open now, still i not got the book yet

Sorry......shouldn't have put ROOKIES there......52T......not sure why anyone would trim that Mantle unless it was maybe to force it into a regular card plastic page or something? It already had a chipped corner and it's really clean otherwise. Will be interesting to see where each level of Mantle goes. I'm finished with 1-310 with both 1-80 backs and have 21/97 high numbers but Mantle's not next on the list unfortunately.........most of them look pretty nice at the level they're at. Nice disclosure on the GAI card that it wouldn't likely grade an 8 anywhere else and that it appears to be 6-7 type quality. Got my catalog today, so I'll be perusing it tonite hopefully.......

Yep, mine just came this afternoon. Already got my red sharpie.
Reminds me circling all my Xmas wants.
I am also interested to see what thos Mick 52's bring as well...to see if the hottness is still there.

You already got 2..didnt even know you were in the game to upgrade, i be gladly to take your leftover one off your tired hands.

has the white specs that were on my Jackie 52T Topps centered PSA 5.....they printed right near each other on the sheet ..i guess thats pretty common..its above mantles bat too..

The PSA 2 that went off on ebay was very nice-- and a poor scan/listing maybe even cost it some bids, not that $9300 is anything to sneeze at.

Not a huge fan of any of the REA offerings, but they'll still do well I bet.

Haha, probably not gonna end up taking home another 52 Topps but I hope to be adding at least one Mantle to the collection from this auction. If any of the 52 Topps go for less than $3,000 they'll be coming home with me though.

There are definitely some spirited bidding battles going on for some of the Micks right now
