That sounds like sour grapes. To me that's a pretty sane price for a great player with very few cards in fantastic condition.

I have a 1939 Play Ball graded set around 60% complete averaging about 5.5 and I'm worried I'll never get the Williams now even if I go to my absolute bottom on the card which would be a 3. 3-4 months ago that wasn't an issue.

I would have to say the 1952 topps #1 Andy pafko. I know it's the #1 card in the set and hard to find in nice shape but $5000 for an ok player.

Agree with this 100%. It's his only portrait and his most beautiful card. His T207 could rival it but just isn't very pleasing the eye. Supply and demand.

Not prewar, but certainly Vintage, the Reggie rookie has always been a tough sell.

I think the price on high graded Rose RC's are out of hand. there are a lot of em out there compared to some of the other rarer cards that bring big $$$ but $150,000??? that's nuts

it's gonna be the card that breaks the high grade bubble IMO, it's gonna go for some crazy price like $750k or a million and the entire house of cards will collapse.

Yeah that's the "story" I'm talking about.
SMR is pretty much useless for some cards now
Days. I don't subscribe to VCP so never see that
Type of info. Looks like the 1950.00 was a great
Price. Still not diggin the Sour Grapes use though.
More like REALLY disappointed :-)

I bought the one from Love of the Game in 2015 for $2280 and I was thrilled to get it. I had been hunting that card for many years for my collection and I considered $2280 to be a bargain...still do.

That card is extremely tough, and has always sold for a LOT more than what I paid, let alone the deal someone got at $1925.

Overpriced? Sorry, but that is not supportable at all except for wishful thinking.

Now '52 Topps Mantles...that is a joke. There are boatloads of them. This postwar madness - a clear bubble - will burst harder than Upper Deck rookies (I guess nobody learned from that...if people even remember). It won't take that long.

Cheers,
Blair

I'm surprised how many people are picking the 52 Mantle, the most iconic card in the hobby. It's not one of the cards that has tripled in value in a month with rumors of market manipulation. Historically in any grade it has shown a consistent increase in value from year to year. It's the best card, of the most popular player, from the most famous team in history. Not to mention it's the best card from the first Topps set, one of the two most popular and widely collected sets in our hobby. The card has a lot going for it. Yes there are a lot of them compared to most expensive cards. But demand is far greater than supply in any grade. All hype? Nothing could be further from the truth.

Yes I am biased as I own one, and my collection is focused on Mantle cards. But I believe if you polled knowledgeable collectors which one card has the most long term investment potential the 52 Mantle would win by a landslide.

Those waiting for the 52 Topps Mantle to be worth less in any grade will be sitting a long while with their bitterness. Decades and decades of history support its status within the baseball card hobby.

If I'm not mistaken you just insinuated we're not knowledgeable collectors. Is that correct?
