Just Another 1952 Mantle PSA 9

[paul]

I've got to agree with Glenn. If that card comes anywhere close to its estimate, then somebody is a complete fool. When you think of all the cards you could buy for 4 Million, including the Wagner, the Baltimore Ruth, the M-101-5 Ruth, a few Just So's, etc., etc., etc. Basically, for that money, you could have one of the nicest collections in the world rather than just one card.

And aren't there supposed to be four PSA10 Mantles out there? What are they worth? 10 million each?

False dichotomy. Whoever has 4 mil to spend on this Mantle probably has another 4 mill to buy those others too.

I wonder who consigned. As I recall one guy owns 4 of the 6 9s.

They probably have another $40 million to spend if they so choose, but I can think of much better ways to dispose of even the 4 in this hobby.

Best wishes,

Yep, I got the same brochure in the mail...since an 8.5 sold a little over a year ago for $1.135M, I think this 9 goes for around $3M (who knows, maybe more). Quite stunning.

yes but that was the peak of the 2016 madness wasn't it? This may sell for the same price.

3-10s and 8-9s with 2 of the 9s having qualifiers.

There are 6 psa 9s and 3 10s that I'm aware of. 9s have already changed hands at over 3m. 4m is a reasonable estimate, and as the first one that's appeared publicly that I've seen since I've been collecting I wouldn't be surprised to see it hit 5 or more. And yes, I'd expect a psa 10 to hit 10m.

Seeing A LOT of folks on here trying to buy/guesstimate with their own pockets. Rule #1 of sales is don't sell out of your own pocket. I've got a funny feeling this thing will go at or above what Heritage thinks it will.
