O/T:1952 Topps Mantle PSA 8.5 sells for record price at REA

[Runscott]

Yep, lots of craziness last night. I nearly scratched a new bald spot between 3:00 and 4:00

Even nuttier was the Gehrig/Ruth ball, and those two single-signed Wagner balls. Lots of late action

honestly in my opinion that 52 topps mantle 8.5 in rea looks better then most of the 9s i have seen scans of. who ever got that card got it at a great price. i remember like 15 years ago one of the 3 psa 10´s sold for what this 8.5 ended up going for

Like Leon said in another thread the 52 Topps has 1000's of them known (In all grades put together) but MILLIONS of collectors who want one so that card will be a great card in the future for sure!!!

Iconic card in a super high grade can't go wrong with that combination.

Last post for today have a good evening guys and for those who won yesterday enjoy your new stuff I went threw the pics of what guys posted from your wins and ALL you guys did very well and got some super stuff!!

I was sleeping like a baby by then with no bids to speak of. Sometimes I think the best view of this hobby is from the cheap seats.
