That SGC 9.5 Mantle says right on it that it’s the “Finest Known Example”, which it may very well be, because it looks way better than the PSA 10 Mantle.

[@paulforsell1439]

It’s because you’re comparing apples to oranges as the ten is PSA and the other like BGS or something. It was the finest known bags example of the BGS if that makes sense.

[@mbh9566]

Yeah, I understand that. I was just making the point that it may truly be the ‘finest known example’. Regardless of the grading company, because it looks a bit better than the PSA Mantle.

[@80sFreak100]

The D-Backs Collection 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA-10 was purchased and owned by retired MLB pitcher Tom Candiotti for around $125,000 back in the mid to late 1990s. The Principal Owner of the Arizona Diamond Backs Ken Kendrick purchased it from Candiotti in a private sale. That's a notable pedigree for that card as well. However, the SGC 9.5 appears to be a better example.

[@axsanchez394]

SGC 9.5 mantle looks way better than the PSA 10 one imo

[@gametimegallery7661]

Exactly right. If PSA re-graded that card, it would never get a 10. Sadly, people buy the label and not the card.

[@coltenhoots9086]

I agree! The black border is way cleaner on the SGC 9.5 and I’d say the color is even a slight bit more prevalent.

[@doebuck9708]

Someone at psa got paid to put a 10 on that. Sgc card does look much better

[@doebuck9708]

Great video. Wow!!

[@Hug_life]

He said he only graded the SGC one a month ago.. and if they estimate that a PSA 10 would fetch $30-$30.5 million, then shit that sounds like big boy money move right there to scoop up that 9.5 SGC for 6 million and take it to PSA. Nice $24million dollar profit! Oh wait sorry $23,999,799.01 (grading fee) 😂

The 9.5 1952 Mickey Mantle card isn't actually the finest known example of that card, Marshall Fogel owns a PSA 10 Black Diamond; which is actually the finest of the known 3 PSA 10 cards to exist.

[@Bailey_Gaming]

It'd be super cool if you could do a video that could explain the reasons why these cards fetch the big money like what about that specific card makes it so valuable

[@landanwoodard7569]

Topps had crates of unsold 1952 cards. The buyers wanted the 1953s and so on. So 8 years later they dumped them in the ocean. Face of the franchise, rookie card, great condition, very scarce population overall and soon to be 75 years old equals big money. 👍

My Sunday school teacher back in the 90s and early 2000s would have millions worth of cards but he lost his entire collection in a house fire, he had just closed his card shop and stored everything in his home. He used to bring a few of us kids cards to put in out collections, I got a few Jordan cards from him

[@Probasaur]

Thank you again to everyone at the national sports card investor booth for being so kind and thoughtful while I was there. Geoff couldn't have been any nicer or more generous with his time (despite being incredibly busy). Cant tell you enough how I very much appreciated you taking the time to talk with me and offer your advice about the Justin Verlander Rookie Auto card. Hearing that you read these comments and appreciate them was really cool. Maybe I'll see you guys again the next time a big show comes around. Hope you have a nice last day today. 🍻

[@ryandeffley7652]

I can feel the old man's pain giving up the SGC9.5 Mantle. Especially since he kept it so pristine in raw condition for 30 years before grading it. The story of how he cared for it is as amazing as the card itself! I had a similar situation where I acquired what many consider to be the finest 71 PSA9 Nolan Ryan on the planet (no 10's exist). The original owner pack pulled it as a kid at 10 years old. Then maintained it in such flawless shape raw for 47 years before subbing it to PSA in 2018. **It's one of those "un-tenable" cards PSA will never give a 10 to. But politics aside, many agree it should be the first 10. The only reason he sold it to me was because my Topps master PSA set registry for Ryan is ranked #3 all time and he loved my dedication. Plus all of his kids collect Pokémon and hate baseball. 🤣

[@JonnyNumonic]

[@Wootensportscards]

The SGC 9.5 looks better then the 10...It really looks like they got a Generous 10... Beautiful card don't get me wrong but more like a 9 when compared to the 9.5

5:00 I hope this display has special lighting or SGC case has special light or UV protection because I find it ridiculous to keep it under those lamps. The display does not need any lighting system. Why taking such a risk with this card?

[@caesarvalentin6332]

Interesting , I used to work for TCI just across the street from Madison Square Garden, I saw that card displayed with a security guard standing next to that table glass, Al Rosen looked at me very intimidating and I left the premises.

[@timothysaludo1715]

Amazing stuff. This showcases the power of elite vintage cards. The Mantles, Wagner, Aaron, and Gretzky far outclass any of the modern and ultra-modern stuff in the video. Although, the Brady Contenders rookie auto probably belongs in that class as well. As for the logoman cards, I'm pretty meh. I know a lot of people really love them, but they don't do anything for me personally. I would never pay that kind of money or anything close to it for those cards.

[@horror7927]

That gem mt 10 mantle rookie has a piece of paint missing from the left side. It's a white dot that is obvious and easy to see. How did that grade a gem 10?

[@paulkeinrath6235]

That's actually a common flaw on 52 mantle cards there's a type one and a type 2 52 mantle. I dont remember exactly but the white dot is type 1 and the thicker black box around the Yankees logo is type 2 something like that. So In reality there is actually 2 different 52 Mantles

look up close on that psa 10 mantle. i have cards returned back from psa graded 8 in better condition. amazing. dots, imperfections, over run ink, etc. yes center great and maybe corners but come on. standards of grading should be the same for 1952 as 2022 but its clearly not. that is what is truly hurting hobby. pop counts, judgment items on grading hurts the hobby. AI is needed to bring in consistency.

[@RoccoHotCornerCollectiblesNJ]

This card was not graded in 2022. it was merely reholdered. you can tell by the old serial number. so yes the grading standards have toughened over the years.

maybe it’s more complicated than that, as in it’s a sensitive question , PSA has 3 PSA 10s, I wonder how it all goes down in the background with these super rare cards, what type of discussion or negotiation goes down …
