Key 1950s cards
 
Have mostly been selling for strong money lately. Psa 6 and up

Centered PSA 5 52 Topps Mays cards have been on the rise also....one recent copy sold for $2350 and another for $2950. Seems like in the not to distant past, a year or two back, that a centered copy of this card was going for $1k-1.5k.

I picked up a centered Mays PSA 6 from Heritage a year ago, and got it (with BP) for $2600. At the time that was a premium, but now I'm glad I paid what I did.

Elephant in the room: when Mays passes away how much do you think this card will fetch then?

Maybe a temporary spike but should stabilize? But what do I know....

I wish I had picked one up back then too. I did get a 51 Mays a couple of months ago though. That card has been going crazy lately too.

JMHO but Banks was neither the player nor celebrity - for better or worse - that Mays was.

still the card doesnt get more rare cause the guy died...yogi berra was a pretty big celebrity and his card hasnt spiked..but im guessing his autos may have a better chance....

I haven't seen much of a Berra spike. Last June, a signed 1953 Topps Berra that had the crap absolutely beaten out of it went for around $60-70; one in much better shape just closed for $89. He is a very common signature and lived a long and full life, so I don't think there will be a run on all things Yogi like there was when Michael Jackson or Heath Ledger died.

+1 And he was a prolific signer, a close second to Feller. My favorite Feller line is that the rarest Feller card is the one he didn't sign. :D

Here's my PSA 6 Mays that I picked up last year.

Seems like prices of most vintage hall of famers especially in high grades have gone up.
