They should of told the story of that card. Who sold it to fogul? Where did that person get it? How did it survive so many years and be in perfect condition? What’s the story of the card? Could of made this video so much better! That card tells a story and all we know is he bought it for $125,000.

[@13ranzz]

Yes, I'm curious as well. Buying the card is not the story. The preservation and how it came to be saved in this condition is the story. My guess.. This was pulled from a sealed box in 1996 and then immediately graded. I don't think it's ever seen the sunlight or handled besides when it was graded. Either way, quite remarkable.

Are the ones that Topps reprinted worth anything? Before those cards as you mentioned were dumped I acquired a few. Some are graded but that particular one is not. Since I haven't gotten a response I guess that's my answer to the question concerning the reprints. Thank you anyway.

[@13ranzz]

This and the SGC 9.5 are the best looking 52 Mantle's imo. Both Type 1, I'm not sure which one is better. But either way, they are both basically perfect. The PSA 10 Diamondbacks version is inferior to both.

Since then the SGC 9.5 sold for over $12 million and a PSA 9 for even more.

I like that even in the 50s kids wanted newer cards - not those ‘old’ 52 cards. Too bad they didn’t have judgmental influencers back then to tell them how foolish they were.

[@user-oo2dh8wd3x]

That card should be bought by the baseball hall of fame and placed near his bust

[@BillyL1212]

Ok imo this card would not grade a 10 if graded today. It’s just too off center for a 10.. the centering isn’t real bad… but it’s not psa 10 material. That said… i believe this card still presents better that the SGC 9.5 AND the Diamondbacks PSA 10. … this card is far more vivid and newer looking than those. The 9.5 has good centering but with very faded ( off white/ cream ) borders. The borders on the dianondback 10 are like… grey This card however looks like it was right out of a pack with beautiful brite white borders and vivid coloring

[@dand9106]

i would have to have another opinions besides PSA that it's not trimmed before buying it. IF I had that kind of money lol

[@kled10]

Wondering if the highest grade Honus Wagner might rival the potential price of this card?

[@kdocgovols]

The problem with the highest graded Wagner, which is a T206 PSA 8, is it is trimmed. I know PSA will never do it, but they need to get the card back and get it in a holder that says Authentic instead 8.

[@joshct9426]

Awesome

[@rhysorourke6164]

Can you imagine being smart or lucky enough to have that much money, but still dumb enough not to notice it's diagonal cut centering and that it is clearly not as clean as the SGC 9.5? Forget the fact that it appears to be in an obvious bubble... Insane price for a double printed second year card of the second best CF from NYC in the 51 rookie class.

First I'll start by that is an Amazing Card however I've seen the two other 10's in person, I also saw the SGC 9.5 in person, I have not seen this card in person but I just got 1080 images of it which my eyes are no better then that. I hate to be Debbie Downer but this card has just as many if not more "slight imperfections" then the other two 10's I've seen and the SGC 9.5. The are ALL amazing cards and anyone who loves sports cards would dream of owning it. That being said, this is all marketing, no way you can say without a doubt this card is the "BEST" of the top 4 or 5 out there. Marshall has done a great job of getting this card out into the public and therefore it's the 'best known" 52 Mantle for sure. BTW, did anyone else notice what appeared to be a printing line running through lower portion of the bat, 4:12 from the bat up just missing his neck towards the outside of his ear? Maybe a scratch on the case? Hard to tell from a video but if it is a printing line, then for certain this is not the greatest example in the world. Wish they would have addressed that, I noticed 2 seconds after the card was on the screen? Cheers

[@SportsCardInvestor]
