1952 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 3 Available in Complete 1952 Topps Set Break at National

[JustCollectVP]

While it is anticipated that all 407 slots will sell out in advance of the expected VintageBreak at the National, in the event that the break does not sell out, the entry period will be extended, within reason, and the break will occur live, online at a date selected and announced upon the full sellout of the break.

An amazing 136 of the 407 cards are graded PSA 5 or better! That’s more than 33% of the set in EXCELLENT or better condition! A list of all of the cards and the associated grades should be available on the www.VintageBreaks.com website later today.

The full list of grades are now available in addition to the images of 14 cards.

To clarify, since some have asked, you do not need to be present to enter the contest (you can do so online) and you do not have to attend the National to receive your prize.

Weekend bump.

You should consider doing a satellite sale. Sell 20 tickets for say 20 bucks winner gets an entry into the break. While a lot of people might not risk $360 plenty will take a shot at $10 or $20. Plus it gives you a little more profit.

The poker player in me understands the satellite concept and while I greatly appreciate the suggestion, it would create a dynamic that would result in the offering being illegal.

There are definitely some regulations concerning this kind of thing. And if done the wrong way could be a big legal issue. My thought is/was, since everybody is getting a physical and valuable product, they just don't know which one, it is not quite like gambling. That being said I am pretty sure our resident lawyers would recommend erring on the side of caution. Good luck with everything, JustCollect team.
And thanks again for being part of the Net54baseball community. It is appreciated. And last but not least, some of my best times at Nationals have been with Leighton. I hope to resurrect that next year (with you by our side, Scott!!)

This is like a fun cardboard lottery. The difference between this set break and the lottery is that you're guaranteed to get something. What is the going rate for a "3" graded Mantle these days? Worst case is that you get a card that may be worth a couple of bucks. How many of the cards have a value of over $350?

Still at 244. What is the within reason date? Curious for those who bought in...including myself

My first time buying into something like this and not happy how this is shaking out. Bought one spot for me and one for a sick friend and was trying to give him something fun to focus on. Kind of sucks to be in limbo. If they couldn't sell a few spots at the show this doesn't sound hopeful at all.

Sorry to hear that, and good on you for trying to take his mind off of things.

I would give them a chance to explain what they are going to do before breaking out the tar and feathers. They are good guys; give peace a chance.

Unfortunately, the break did not sell out during the National.

VintageBreaks.com has every intention on completing the enrollment and running the break and expects a sell-out and the break very shortly.

VintageBreaks apologizes for any disappointment as this would've been spectacular to have headlined at the Breaking Pavilion.

Updates will be posted regularly on the VintageBreaks.com website and slots sales will be updated as quite a few were sold at the National.

Thank you to all that have participated so far, those that will in the future and thank you all for your patience.

Slot availability on your website has not changed since before the National ended. Can we get an update? I'm hoping this will still happen but not looking good.
