I think would sell both for $1MM
Maybe throw in a negative 10% commission

Done. When can I pick them up?

Oof, knocked off '51 Bowman Mantle and Mays last year but I think that's it for my former dream card collection. The modern boom paid for some amazing cards last year, was hoping a '52 Mantle would be possible but at this point, it's not looking good!

Then again, I never thought I'd own the '51s so we'll see.

Interesting on Heritage auction ending tonight.
1952 Mantle graded PSA 3(though looks a lot better) is at $125,000 and the is auction not over. Has to be the highest ever paid for a PSA 3.
Also an off center SGC 3 in same auction at less than $35,000 with some time left.
It seems his cards continue to go up without stopping.

The SGC 3 is up to $50k with the premium. It is very OC.

EDIT: and the very nice looking PSA 3 @ Heritage is going to close for at least $162k. Looks a lot like pokerplyr80's PSA 3.5 above, so congrats to you too!

$1MM - if that one Mega Million Ticket- I can pick one up for you and meet you at the airport!

Looks like 50k for the OC 3 and 156k for the centered 3. They aren't easy to find centered like that though, someone got a great looking card.

162k and still in OT for the dead centered 3. Heavyweight bout.

The ship has most likely sailed for me on getting a nice '52 Mantle but was recently able to pick up a very well centered (no creasing) PSA 4 '53 Topps Mantle. What do you guys/gals think of the '53 Topps moving forward?

It's a popular card so, yes, it's bound to go up. However, the 53-55 Bowan versions seem to be a bit under the radar currently. The asking prices may have gone up, but on eBay the sales are still somewhat reasonable, at least for the 53 Bowman.

Which always struck me as crazy since it's an awesome card in a popular set.

You mean mile high? Memory lane ends in a couple days but they have a couple decent 52s as well.

Well centered cards is the 1952 Topps set should bring a premium due to many, if not most cards in the set having centering issues. Equally important for me with the Mantle card is clarity...a blue sky with no snow...seems like a snowy sky is a common trait with many of the lower grade Mantle examples...tough to find an affordable copy with a clear sky.

[MattyC]

Yes, the depth and smoothness of color in that blue background is a big deal to me as well on that card, and contributes greatly to eye appeal. Also, sometimes his cap area has some registration blur. When you look at a focused cap card besides one that is blurrier, this aspect can stand out to the eye.
