I don't think there's any need to shill this one. The price is already higher than the card has been selling for lately. Even if the consignor had considered it, which I certainly hope he didn't, i doubt he would at this point.

jessie.why not bid more on this card....that way you wont regret being an underbidder on this card 15 years from now and wont have to start another thread about regrets of being an underbidder.....they give you 6 months financing afterall ..thats enough time to mortgage everything or get some loans..so cant say you dont have the money... |

Are you seriously saying the average eBay sellers auctions are shilled more than a consigners auction? Do you have anything to base this opinion on?

That stain to me is pretty trivial.

A consignor risks having to be a high bidder and paying a buyers premium on their own card if they win it at an auction house....if they have two or more accounts and they 'win' their card..there is zero chance.....that's what my opinion is based on... you think if it was a private account for the 1952 mantle psa 8..with some guy with 50 feeback theres less of a chance he would shill it then pwcc? go consign a card to pwcc/probstein and win your own consignment with them and tell me what happens...if you are too scared to do it..that proves my point......

What a beautiful card! I agree that A) the stain should have been noted, and B) it doesn't detract much. That said, the PWCC write-up focuses on this being at the very top of PSA 8 examples, which I'm not sure is true when considering the stain.
On another note, and this isn't to knock the card at all...looking up close, it's easy to notice the top black border is too long. I wondered if all 52T #311 cards had this same border issue, and it looks like many don't. Perhaps it's speaks to the perfectionists at Topps back then that this card would be redone to fix such a small issue. Or more likely, perhaps it speaks to the general variability in their setup and printing back then that minor things like this might vary unintentionally from run to run. Purely academic mind wanderings here as this is a card I definitely will never own!

The '52 Topps Mantle is the Wagner / grail card of the Baby Boomer set. It's fascinating to me how grading and the craze of the modern hobby have continued to push the price of this card up in recent years. I started collecting as a kid in 1986 and used to persuade my mother to buy vintage cards for me at the local shops back when $20 or so for a nice '66 Koufax (still one of my favorites) was considered BIG MONEY. I guess I should have been more persuasive back then when a mid-grade '52 #311 went for "only" a couple of thousand dollars. Hey ma, do you know what this card will be worth in 2015?? The sad thing is, I was doing that kind of persuading back then - but alas, for complete sets of '89 UD and 1990 Donruss and that kind of thing. Doh!
