1953 Topps 82 Mickey Mantle for sale RAW gem

[Vegas Cards]

Isn't this one of the more commonly graded Mantles? Maybe not that many ungraded examples out there for sale I would guess.

Most would ask why not get it graded first?

Although I may be wrong, and am answering without first checking a pop report, I wouldn’t think it is anywhere near the most commonly graded Mantles. It is actually a short printed card and a rarer Mantle.

Getting the card graded in today’s environment could take 6 months. If he seriously wants to sell his collection and expose it to the most bidders, he should list it on a certain auction website. That way he doesn’t have to worry about setting a price. The free market will set it for him.

Alternatively, he could take pictures and post the cards on this site’s BST section. You can tell he doesn’t have much experience. This is why he can’t sell the card. He doesn’t know how to price it, and wouldn’t even know a good offer for it. He won’t accept anything less than amount no reasonable person on this site will pay. Waste of time.

This card would not take months to grade. It would fall under express service at PSA which is currently about 2 or 3 weeks.

Good luck with the sale.

Hi Matt, it sounds like your a young guy and that you just started learning the hobby. My suggestion is you should delete your post, send the card or cards to PSA for grading. When you get them back, as long as they are encapsulated, you post them for sale again. This net54 is a great place for a guy to learn, and also to buy and sell. The same guys that are giving it to you today, would be the same guys that would gladly help you with advice. You came on a little strong, it’s a learning thing.

Anyone serving popcorn in this thread?

[Mpags91]

Thanks for the advice Chuck. I did not come on strong. I simply posted a card for sale and asked prospective buyers to make me an offer. Also, I did so respectfully and remained respectful even after all the despicable reprobates chimed in. I made a mistake by posting it on this thread and claiming it "may" be a 4-5. Again, I wasn't able to make edits until Leon moved it over to the BST thread. I'm not in love with baseball cards like you all are and that should be okay. I have a right to be here and to contribute to your hobby. However, I am not going to take that crap. If you aren't interested in what I have then simply move on to another thread. As for the grading, like I said my heart isn't in it and frankly I don't feel comfortable sending high dollar cards off in the mail. That doesn't mean someone won't have the courage to be interested in purchasing my collection and having them graded themselves. People in this hobby do like ungraded cards and will be willing to purchase my collection. You guys should already know that, so shame on your behavior. Your bullying tactics are a disgrace to the hobby. I've already made it clear that I am far from an expert, but you're right, I am learning a lot about cards and a lot about the type of people who like to collect them.

Raw: $800-$1000
Graded: $1600-1800

Seriously...there are a ton of buyers here(me included) but you will find that we always post prices. We get that you are new here and learning the process which is fine; we are happy to have another collector. Bottom line; just put your asking price out there and you may be surprised on the responses you get:

Also; What else is in the collection?

Thanks!

Why hasn’t this post been moved to BST yet?

Besides the fact that it is extremely entertaining. I think we should give the original poster a chance, and he has been respectful. Although I laughed at the 4-5 grade and no price. Chalk it up to a Learning curve. Also I agree post a price next time, but I don’t feel that’s a requirement. Especially if an item is rare. This 53 mantle is not. VERY hard to sell Raw online especially not from a established member with a history. GLWTS
