Commerce Comet's 1952 Topps #311 meteoric rise in value

Will always be a classic baseball card that endures the test of time. The prettiest copies regardless of grade will always be sought after by collectors.

In one year the PSA 10 Michael Jordan '86 Fleer went from $45K to $750K, if you want to talk unrealized profits. And PSA 10 base Kobe and LeBron 2012 Prizm cards went up tens of thousands of percents.

Ergo, the '52 Topps Mantle must still be a bargain. ;-)

I sold my 51 bowman mantle...at the worst possible time...shortly before the run up...I transferred the 20K+ gain to another board member!

I auctioned off a 1915 Sporting News Ruth RC in a Mastro auction about 20 yrs ago. It was graded personally by Derek Grady when he was with SGC and received a grade of 5.5. The nightmares continue.
