i worked at a bank back in 2008 and brought a guy back to his safety deposit box. and he showed me his mickey mantle rookie card. i kept telling him that im not supposed be shown whats in their boxes. but he insisted. was pretty cool. it was in amazing condition.

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) 😂

[@mbh9566]

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.

[@noelanthony1204]

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. 🍻

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

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. 👍

That Gretzky that’s a “10” you can clearly see an issue with the top left corner. I wish I could call up my people at PSA and get them to slap 10’s on cards too.

[@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. 🤣

[@jonnagel7022]

Sold $12.6 million

Geoff and Sport card Investor. Out of all the vlogs and videos you guys have ever put up this one in my opinion has to be best of the best. Love to see the diverse collections you showed off, not only the vintage but the Basketball and the TCG too. Who would have ever none back in 1909 right that a piece of cardboard one day would fetch so much or back in 1952 I bet all those kids regret putting the baseball cards in their bicycle spokes and kept them all to this day.

[@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.

Tyson Fury Rookie Boxing Cards are the cards to buy and hold on to. There are more Michael Jordan Rookie cards and Wayne Gretzky Rookie cards then there are Tyson Fury Rookie cards. Tyson Fury cards are very Limited and only a small amount were made. As long as he stays Undefeated, his cards will continue to rise even Higher!! Very Low Print run, and Tyson Fury is Undefeated which makes his cards go Super High in Price $$$$ Tyson Fury - Topps 2018 Tyson Fury - Topps 2019-2020 Tyson Fury - Fleer Pro Set Individual Cards 2021

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

AI is needed to bring in consistency.
