Seems as though this anonymous group have not yet begun to pursue the 57 #95 Mantle or the any of the 52 on up Bowman Mantle cards. A 53 Topps PSA6 Mantle recently sold for approximately the same as a centered PSA 7 53 Bowman Mantle.

My guess is at least some of the record prices are due to exceptional cards for the grade. The best always go for more.

The 53 Topps is a better card than the 53 Bowman, which is small and kind of boring.

chis,

you mean the 52 bowman being small and boring?

i think the 53b is an absolutely beautiful card and larger.

Yea, haha, disregard what I said. Was thinking if the 52. The 51 and 52 are small and boring but the 53 is a decent looking card.

I agree that the 53 Bowman is a much nicer/larger card than the 52 Bowman(I like my 53 B much better than my 52 B). I also agree that some of the higher end PSA 6 53 Topps Mantle cards are indeed more highly coveted than a 53 Bowman Mantle

I believe the 52 Bowman Mantle will be the next one to see a major bump..idk maybe not just my thoughts. My personal favorite bowman is the 54.

TY Johnny.....I recently purchased a PSA 3 52 Bowman Mantle for the same amount I paid 18 months ago for the SGC 5.5 53 Bowman Mantle, so I agree that the 52 Bowman Mantle (although it is a small/boring card), looks as though it maybe starting to spike like the 53 Topps Mantle has recently.
