REA is open! Sept 2022

[Kidnapped18]

Just opened for bids

[parkplace33]

Check out the description for the 52 Mantle:

Graded VG+ 3.5 by PSA. Attractive example of the 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle. One of the hobby's classic cards, Mantle's Topps rookie card is the key to the 1952 set, one of the most famous of all cards, and the single most popular and valuable postwar baseball card. Recently, an SGC MINT+ 9.5 example sold at public auction for $12.6 million dollars, a record for any sports item, card, or memorabilia. This card exhibits bright colors, a crisp image, centering slightly toward the top, and honest corner wear. Boldly printed reverse. Minor surface wear factors into the assigned grade. This is a beautiful mid-grade example with strong visual appeal! This card presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a suburb example of Mickey Mantle's most celebrated card in an extremely desirable condition, yet very possibly at a fraction of the cost of a higher-grade example.

Where does mid-grade start? PSA 3?

Is this your card?

Bidding early was refreshing since everything opened up at 10.00. Reminded me of auctions back in the 90s. Got my shot gun bids in and will check back in on the final day.

That's really the way to do it. Good luck!

[luciobar1980]

I wish you could Watchlist items from the main page instead of having to go into each one.

Same here. The bigger question for next weekend is, do you start bidding right away in OT, or wait until after the website crashes?

Seems to be the norm on the last couple REA auctions in OT.

It is not, I was just intrigued by that description.

[IndyDave]

I was the winning bidder on the Mantle for - oh about 30 seconds I guess. Came back from lunch and the lowest graded one was at $29k.

Put in a few bids on the first page. Need to dig deeper over the next few days. I am much more likely to win something that has four digits in the lot number

Good luck to all.

Don't worry.

I will not be a bidder on this one.

I prefer to acquire a city example. They are the style that are worth more.

Well, there are two variations, maybe that explains it.

Well, you've got 4 more options on this card over at the PWCC September premier auction, where the preview just showed up today, including this beauty: https://youtu.be/SiZLhcasigY?list=TL...0DcwODA5MjAyMg

Disclosure: None of them are mine. And, for that matter, I have never owned a 52T Mantle. Not that I don't aspire to greatness someday, but not today.

Own the rarity! You can buy a signed one at memory lane. Pop of just 14. It IS mine! Well centered. Well loved and deep blue hue

I see prices have cooled off
Even the starting bids seem higher than normal.
