Mile High sold prices of interest

I think I would be better at stopping my Mantle run from 1952-1960 versus chasing a bunch of 60's Mantle cards that have doubled to crazy prices. I like 65 and 66, but have no real desire to pay PSA 8 $$ for 1961, 1963, 1967, 1969... Decisions, decisions. Might just grab more 1956-1958 in PSA 8/8.5.

It's still cool to have the whole run together. Maybe just get the 60s in PSA 7. You could get each for less than you'll spend on another 56 in an 8.

You are correct and I am just being pissy. Missed out on several nice 8's lately, and for the 60's I am only doing 8's or better. Actually doing the entire run in PSA 8 or better except for the 52 and 53 which I already have and will be tough to improve upon without spending a fortune. Here it is to date.

Those 52 and 53 Mantles look quite nice for the grades from what I can see. Excellent centering on both and the 53 red bleed looks sweet.

What did everyone think of the price on the 1953 Stahl Meyer Psa 2 MK?
Great card for sure!

I was underbidder. I really wanted that card but couldn't press it up another increment. The hammer price was not crazy IMO. That's a really nice 2

I agree Dave. I wanted to take a shot at it but could not do it right now.
It was a clean card for sure.

Dave, I'm really glad you couldn't press it up another increment. I only wish you had stopped a few increments earlier.

As you might have guessed by now, I was the high bidder for that card. I really didn't want to pay that much for it, but it is a really nice 2 and the mark on it is small and not too noticeable. Now I just have to be patient and wait for it to come to its new home.

Thank you. Got really lucky on the 53 Mantle, and years ago I had a monster of a 53 Mantle in PSA 8 that was before the 1/2 point grading system. That card today would no doubt be an 8.5 - had a perfect red corner and 4 sharp corners and great centering. This one is just as nice except for something up at the top border which is very hard to see but it is there. Could be my favorite card, and would sell the rookie before the 53 since I could not replace it without spending $50k+. Here is a close up of it.
