It depends (shocking answer).
![]() Are you looking for pre-War, post-War vintage, junk wax era, shiny modern? Are you looking for a PSA 10, 9, high-grade for the era, rarity, HOF player? I would think 5K would get a very nice card that you could be proud of. Here's a list of post-War ~5K cards that I priced today: 1956 TOPPS 33 ROBERTO CLEMENTE WHITE BACK 8 5,146 1954 BOWMAN 65 MICKEY MANTLE 7 5,110 1953 TOPPS 220 SATCHELL PAIGE 8 5,055 1957 TOPPS 35 FRANK ROBINSON 8 4,993 1949 BOWMAN 226 EDWIN SNIDER 8 4,980 1979 O-PEE-CHEE 18 WAYNE GRETZKY 6 4,888 1961 TOPPS 300 MICKEY MANTLE 8 4,884 1967 TOPPS 581 METS ROOKIES B.DENEHY/T.SEAVER 8 4,766 1956 TOPPS 30 JACKIE ROBINSON WHITE BACK 8 4,719 1948 LEAF 93 BOB FELLER 5.5 4,500 |

That was nice of Bob F! Great list.
My two cents would be go for eye appeal and stick with PSA. IMHO graded eye appeal starts with PSA 6 on up, depending on the year and design of the card, of course. Put another way, if you were going to crack out whatever card you had just paid $5000 for, would you be happy with the way it looks and want to show it off raw to family and friends? Enjoy this great hobby. Peace. |

I just read another thread where you were considering a 30K Mantle?
