Mickey Mantle Debut ticket sold on eBay

Steve, I respectfully disagree. I think tickets are as strong as ever. Yes, there's been some corrections here & there, but I follow tickets and bid on a lot of examples, and often get blown out on many of them.

This Mantle debut went under the radar, and was not properly titled.

I respectfully disagree with your respectful disagreement. LOL.

I think tickets/stubs got an insane bounce during Covid from Darren Rovell, who tweeted daily about tickets and showed off many of his cool tickets. I think he drove some irrational exuberance in this nook of the market.

The Mantle ticket didn't go under the radar. For it's condition and being ungraded it landed about where it should have.

Once graded it'll bump it to a 18k-20k ticket.

So "IF" the buyer of it plans to slab it, and "IF" they plan to sell it they'll make a few grand, but that's the case with most tickets, slab 'em and value goes up.

If you think this is a 40-50k ticket, HIGHLY doubtful. I personally don't care about the condition of rare significant tickets but guys who spend 50k and up sure do. They'd want a better example than this one.

When I said under the radar, I meant due to the fact it wasn't titled properly. No mention of Mantle's debut. That's a HUGE miss for the listing.

Most (but not all), but most tickets are down, and not only from 2022, but here's an example of down just from earlier in 2024 until now.

Same exact ticket sells at REA in Spring 2024 for $1260, sells again at REA in Fall 2024, and slabbed by PSA, (so much for slabbing adding value) for $690.

The consignor really took a bath on that one. They win it in Spring, pay to get it graded, resell 6 months later, and get killed on it. Ouch.

Fear not however if you missed out on this one, pretty sure I know the winner, and pretty sure you will see it on Ebay in 2-3 weeks for $2500.

Oh yeah, that guy who marks everything up 4 to 10 times and sits on it for eternity. The problem with developing a reputation like that is anytime I run across his items, I dont even bother trying to negotiate as I know he probably only paid 20% of the list price.

Exactly. Rovell is essentially trying to prop up the ticket market most likely due to his own self interest. Just my opinion, but his posts usually do not correspond to pricing.

I’m not sure I agree with this statement. Ticket prices peaked a few years ago and have dropped dramatically over the past couple of years. There are a few exceptions, but overall prices have gone down a ton from the peak. Yes, they are still higher than they were pre-COVID, but most high dollar have declined a lot over the past two years.
