It looks like the lot has already surpassed the Joe Jackson CONLON as well as the first two choices in this poll.

Well, I might as well wished for a T206 Wags... The photo is now at 42.5k plus juice, so call it 50k....with days left. Heck, if a few whales with high grade '52 Mantles want it bad enough I think it could hit 100k, by the way it's going now. Congrats to the consignor.

Whoever wins this will have no need for a Mantle Rookie card IMO. I would rather have an original photo(handful known or less) then any card it was used for. But, that is just me... wish I could afford this particular example. Whoever wins it will make money if and when they ever sell again. I really believe that. It sure would be interesting to see what that minty original Wagner Horner photo would go for now(used for the t206 card).

Wow 42,500! I think we're going to need a new poll. It looks like over 45 is going to happen.

I am with you Ben on both counts. If I remember correctly the Wagner photo went for around $25,000 in Christie's auction of the Baseball Magazine archives and an oversized 1927 Ruth and Gehrig photo sold for somewhere near $30,000. I believe that the previous high for a Mantle photo
was around $6,000 - a bending bat photo in one of Henry's auctions a couple of years ago.

Does anyone know what the highest price ever paid (private or public) for a vintage baseball photo is? I have a strong feeling this '52 Topps photo will be the new king.
