$300 is the most I have ever spent on a single card in the UK. This was for a raw
Imperial Tobacco hockey card of Newsy Lalonde. I think it is a C56 it is #36 of 36. My estimate grade of this card would be psa 4.5 - purchased at our annual convention in 2016.

These are the only two cards (the Mantles) I've ever spent more than $2K on:

I bought both in 2003

Well bought Steve!!!!

I have to ask, at the time, did you believe you were paying too much for the cards?

We definitely have some heavy hitters on here. My high is $200 for a '58 Mantle.

Steve, yeah, as it turned out buying early Mantles in those days was a great move. I would think that across the grading spectrum the 51 and 52T have probably appreciated as much if not more than any other issues.
