The curious case of a 1952 topps Eddie Mathews, the sky is falling

[Smarti5051]

Allow me to be an escape route for a poor soul holding a PSA 2-3 version of this card, as I need it for my registry set. Don't be stuck holding the Mathews card when it hits a bottom! LOL In all seriousness, if anyone is unloading one, I wouldn't mind adding one.

I was watching it for a reason! I still need to add, but no reason why this particular card is worth more than 2k.


It was undervalued, but after collecting 1952 topps for 30 years, I just dont see the surge

Is it possible it didn't get as much juice as in the Clean Sweep auction because Leland's also had a PSA8(OC) in the same auction, and bidders were focusing on that?

As for the PSA3 not being worth more than $2K, times have changed my friend. Also, it's the '52 Topps set, a high number, a HOF rookie, it's on the opposite end of the Pafko #1 card on the stack and getting the brunt of the rubber bands, it's desired by those in need of it for the Registry, and to top it all off, you wouldn't have to pay the ridiculously jacked up grading fee and wait lord knows how many months to get it back from being slabbed since it is already graded. Aside from that, who knows!
