How much should I spend on a 1952 topps psa 1 Mantle?

[pokerplyr80]

I would think you could find a decent looking psa or sgc 1 in the 7-8k range and a not so decent looking one in the 5-6k range.

Great info guys. I'm in the same boat. Just curious what I should look to spend for, let's say, not quite fugly 1. 4.5-6k?

For that range you will be lucky to find one with decent eye appeal. If you're ok with an altered card you should be able to find a better looking card for somewhere around the 6k range.

Are they really that steep right now? That makes me so thankful I picked up mine when I did.

Actually based on the last couple VCP reported sales and the asking prices on ebay my estimates may have been on the low side.

I would wait for a better one. Sooner or later the bottom is going to fall out on this highly overated card.

Sounds like some real sour grapes there, LOL! The sun is rising tomorrow, no matter what.

Demand for this icon far outstrips supply. And always will. Some of the people who want a nice one but can't afford one (of which I am admittedly one) make futile attempts to blind themselves to the decades of history this amazing card has. I find it funny. I'm just going to work hard to get one, one day. OP hope you get a winner that makes you happy to spend time with every day!

If the price does start falling all the people who keep saying this and advising others to follow this advice will help drive the price right back up. You all are serving as our market diversification.
