If the item you are buying meets this perfect “trifecta” - iconic player; world-class eye appeal; scarcity - you can never go wrong.

Agreed. You'd have a hard time losing a dime on a rare Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, Jackie, Clemente, Mays item.

Is the folks who spend six figures on a non-iconic name because its supposedly a rare card . . . .that's the stuff that makes me scratch my head.

LOL! A “hair” short on eye appeal Ryan, but it’s unique Ty Cobb type card status certainly picks up the slack for the poor aesthetics.

Wow Can't wait to get my catalog--Auction is loaded--Love the auto cards--and my favorite, the 52 topps 2.5 Mantle--I need another one---nice exhibits and high end 1950's---Good luck to all net54 members.

Great auction! Memory Lane has become one of the elite auction destinations in no small part because of the good work of Joe T.

Thx for the very kind words Jay! However, it is the hard work of our entire dedicated team that has truly paid immense dividends. Hopefully, there is something in this grand offering for everyone.

That PSA 2.5 1952 Topps Mantle is my favorite of the auction too. It’s centering is exceptional. If I ever get one, that is how I would itto look. I would take it over most of the 4s and 5s that I see out there.

I actually just looked at this card-- its at 75K w/ 2 weeks left OMG!
FOR a PSA 2.5!!!!!! Thats a stunning beauty!!
Can we say a record price???

As quoted in decscription:
Even VG specimens have achieved record-setting prices in 2021, with several eye pleasing examples fetching $85K and $90K, and an absolutely stunning PSA 3 realizing a "record for the grade" $162K figure in March 2021.

I guess, to reference a different thread running concurrently, that signed 1963 Fleer Clemente is my white whale. It is the only card I lack for my signed '63 Fleer set. But, it is way out of my budget. I told someone that I should have bid on it right after it opened. Not because I expected to win, but just so I can say that I did.

Thankfully, Scott over at The Collector's Connection has 4 different signed 1960 and 1961 Fleer cards that I need in his current auction..
