Just Another 1952 Mantle PSA 9

[Sean]

It's up to $2.6 million now.

Looks like all the action took place before extended bidding. Still an impressive result and good for the hobby overall.

Congrats, Evan -- I am guessing you already have a beautiful 7 or better to fill the void.

6 mill?

Anyone buy a 52 Mantle for $ 1 back in the day ?

[iowadoc77]

Just need to get that time machine perfected! No worries. Shouldn’t be that difficult.

[Scott L.]

Already taking offers. You have to come heavy at $3.7 minimum though.

There are a million Henderson 9s, not really a good analogy.

Are you insinuating that a PSA 10 Mantle would bring less than $205,714,286?

I think you’re light on that estimate.

It's crazy. Doesn't the 1952 Topps Mantle have variations on the ball stitching on the back and also front box differences ? Wait till someone says one variation is worth more than the other. These cards will need to be regarded indicating which variation it is ! These whales will need all the variations !

[MVSNYC]

They were double printed, 2 per page, each variation having the same total population...I believe.

Yes I guess there will be a hedge fund guy willing to pay almost anything to get one of the three 10’s. Maybe $10-12 million?

How would you like to be "the grader" at PSA and you have to make a decision if the Mantle card is a "8" or "9" or "9" or "10" ? Millions of $$$$ difference. Wonder if you knew the submitter ? Labeled From the " so and so " collection .
