Perfect example: this 1952 Topps Mantle, graded PSA PR-FR 1, is currently at $5,222 on eBay with less than 24 hours to go (auction ending 9.46pm NYC time, 11/11/18).

I'm sure there are plenty of people who can afford to spend this kind of money for one baseball card, but can't afford a high grade example, who would see this as an opportunity to get a 52T Mantle for a "reasonable" price.
