The '52 Topps Mantle is a card that connects you to the player and takes you back to the time, a time when rooting for the Yankees was like rooting for U.S. Steel, and the Mick was overflowing with the indominatable vigor of youth, chomping at the bit to perform wondrous feats (such as winning 12 pennants and 7 World Series in the course of his first 14 years in the league)! It's a slice of both the time and his life, just as the 1795 coin is a slice of early America. Your last statement is the same as saying that the 1795 $10 gold piece is just a piece of metal dug out of some rock or stream and stamped into a circle under pressure a long time ago. That is simply not the way collectors view Americana. For a baseball lover, one who lives and breathes its history, the Mantle is far more than likely the more significant item of the two.

Best regards,

Larry

+1 Collectors have more passion when they connect with something.

Default 1952 Mantle PSA 8
Anyone for floating the rumor that this card appears to be trimmed?

So is it Fair ta say that Players like Harper, Trout, Goldschmidt & the Likes will be all the Rage 20-40 years from now!
The New Money will have ta Collect someone... RiGHT!?

Maybe that's why the new shinny Rookie's are goin fir crazy money even before this boys even touch the Major's...

Ohhh and I'm not one who believes that the Mantles are gonna do a nose dive when us baby boomers die off... Sure they'll be a baseline, but a nosedive is a much different theory.

Anyone notice a couple of bid retractions on the Plank? Same bidder is leading on the Mantle, perhaps all in on the Mick or? Has about 30 bids on that auction. Can never understand why someone needs to bid 30/40 times on one lot?

The timing of the two bids, and retractions, is odd.

My guess is PWCC cancels all bids from that guy. And then eBay cancels the account.

A thread on CU mentions bidder 1271 as well. I was able to click on the link earlier and besides having so many bids on the Mantle, the bidder had a relatively high number (can't recall how many) of relatively recent bid retractions as well.
