1952 topps Beckett 5 Mickey Mantle rc

Hi I'm new here to this forum and was just wondering if 20k is a good price to pay for a Beckett 5 mantle rc? Thanks!

Welcome. Prices will vary based on eye appeal and centering. I would recommend a one day pass to Vintage Card Prices. They list most 52 Mantles that have sold over the last few years and include pictures.

I think if it is perfect or near perfect centering, and the type ( A or B ( I forget)) that has the black border around he Yankee logo, then 20K is about right. Aloha, Dave

Plus, you can use CardTarget.com as well to check pricings on sold items.
If you get, please do share some pics.

Dave, I believe that is variation A. Do you think there is a premium for that variation in the mid to high grades? I have only really monitored the lower grades (PSA A - PSA 1), but I have not seen any difference in price. Variation A is definitely the more attractive of the two though, in my opinion.

I don't think there is a premium for that type, but that black bordered logo type is usually a brighter blue background and a neon yellow bat that "pops!" and doesn't have that washed out armon Mick that the other type has....type "A" if that's what it is just always seems brighter to me. Anyone else notice this? Dave.

Thanks so much! Centering, edges surface all got 7 and corners got a 4.5. So I'm thinking this is the one to go for.

Go for it.
