A mint condition 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle baseball card has sold for $5.2 million through PWCC Marketplace, shattering the previous trading card record of $3.9 million paid last August for a Mike Trout rookie card.
The card was purchased by Rob Gough, the entrepreneur/actor behind the brand DOPE. It was graded by Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) as a 9 on a scale of 10 and is one of only six of its kind in existence.
quote:
Topps began making sports cards in 1952 for the first time, making the ’52 set a popular one to own. Due to that popularity, “even common cards in mint condition can fetch over $1,000.” In 1952, five-card packs cost a nickel.

Probably better odds to win the lottery than those existing and getting that money.

how much are my mint condition chipper jones rookie cards worth?

The 1951 Bowman is the real rookie. I don't know why the 1952 Topps is called a rookie card. It's the first Mantle Topps card. The 1952 Bowman Mantle is the prettier card in my opinion compared to the 1952 Topps.

I have a better chance of winning the lottery than finding a Mickie Mantle rookie card in some box in the attic.

Yeah because a lot of people have cards like this laying around and don't know it.

Where could I get a rough appraisal on baseball cards?
The most valuable one I have is probably a Barry Bonds rookie card.

It’s a PSA 9 card. Meaning someone opened a pack in fricking 1952 and had it graded immediately. It’s not like it was sitting in a shoe box getting bent up

I posted this on the more sports board earlier today.

And no frickery at all goes on in the world of sports card authenticating.

What’s your point on this? PSA is pretty well respected, it’s why psa 10 Charizards are going for $350,000

Friend,
I’d rather Black Berry.
In terms of collecting, 1993 Christopher Radko ornaments are going to pop soon.

There's a couple of rare ones worth quite a bit actually.
This Desert Shield limited edition one is around $5K if it's 9.5 grade or above. Was given to soldiers in the middle east.

Apparently there are only about 6 left in the world and who knows what condition they are even in
They were thrown into the water somewhere and most were lost
There was a local doctor that passed away back in the 80's that was a friend of his, probably had all kind of autographed merchandise.
Mantle was known to gamble
