I did like the song from the video with the Edwards cards, but Shazam couldn't ID it. Independent release?
Probably going to go more professional. The investment article is the only one like that, it was based off a Twitter conversation I had with someone...

I license my music from Epidemic Sound. They have a bunch of different artists providing their music...Check out the rock category on their site, not sure which video you are talking about...

It was the video that you showed the Carl Edwards cards from your site.

That collection video section is going to be for offering those types of videos to other collectors in case they want to throw some of their stuff on YouTube and social media sites...

The song is Sebastian Forslund - Never Return. This song is top notch. One of my favorites from the site so far. Great site if you need to license music...

Long term, with regard to investment advice, the formula itself is very simple and applies with equal force to any collectible field: buy rare, significant items in the best condition you can find or afford. Condition is relatively easy--the rest requires research and study. The more time you "invest" in the latter, the better your picks will be over time. Common to somewhat scarce items tend to be cyclical in value over time, and I include the '52 Topps Mantle in this group (the virtually never-ending stream of them appearing on ebay or at auction is to me a decisive turn-off). It has significance galore; but no one in their right mind would call it rare or even scarce. Twenty-five years ago or so one author suggested there might be 15,000 of them still around. Their proliferation at auction suggests that estimate may well have been very conservative.

Best of luck to you,

Larry

Referring to the 52 Mantle sounds like you’re missing the demand portion of the equation.

I concur. The demand part and the centering part are missing in that assessment, which does not account for the nuanced ways in which the market has evolved today.

To merely cite population numbers as a whole when it comes to the 1952 Mantle is specious. When someone is shopping for one and wants the best in whatever their price range, it comes down to this: how many are centered?

The market is parsing the centered examples from the herd, and in that respect those examples are indeed scarce. We see this dynamic at play even in mid/low grade centered Mantles — cards that are plentiful in any condition, yet rarely centered; 1957, 60, 61, 62, when a focused and centered example shows up, it breaks out from the herd.

Do I see a lot of basic issue Mantles on ebay? Yes.

Are 99.9% of them ugly, tilted, and OC? Yes.

That makes that 99.9% a decisive turn off, for me.

That small fraction of scarce and highly sought-after specimens that are gorgeous with great centering? Major turn on.

While I agree that rare/scarce and significant is a great way to go, I also think that the evolving hobby and market is redefining rare/scarce in nuanced ways. I also think the 1952 Topps Mantle will always be the most in-demand card. And the demand for centered examples of the 1952 Topps Mantle will continue to far outstrip the supply.

"hahahahahahah" reminds me of the canned laughter used on early sitcoms taped without a studio audience.

Humor is in the eye of the beholder.

I agree completely. Try to find one of these (received yesterday), in a mid tier grade, which is centered nicely. They are quite scarce....and their value is quite a bit higher than normally centered ones...
