Is the '52 a RC?

According to SGC it is, for some reason.

I've always thought the 52T rookie designation was weird. The 51 Bowman is a 10x better looking card anyway.

Topps is the biggest and most prolific card company ever. The '52 Topps Mantle is iconic and his FTC (First Topps Card). These analogies remind me of the T206 Wags. Most non collectors think it's his rarest card. It's nowhere close but it is his most known and iconic hence the price. Same as the '52 Mick.

Personally I like his '51 Bowman as much as the '52 Topps.

I get the whole Topps mystique, it's just weird a lot of people think the 52T is Mantle's rookie. Interestingly though, that doesn't seem to be the case with Mays. I think you're on to something with an FTC designation though. That makes the most sense to me.

You made my point. Mantle is the most valuable post war player. Put that with the biggest and by far most prolific card mfg'er and you have a perfect storm. Not a rare card but actually scarce due to it's desirability (this could be debated).

It's not just weird, it's flat out wrong. A second year card is not a rookie. But SGC labels it a rookie.

Personally I like Mantle's '52B more than the '52T as well, maybe its only cuz I can afford it

Default The first PSA 6100,000 52 Mantle?
I am surprised but can't say shocked that a PSA 6 is at 82,000 at Goodwin auction already. I know it is a beautiful card but has the market gone crazy? Has Mickey become the darling of every Wall Street investor? Markets make the price but can anyone say bubble.

There are 3 1952 Mantle PSA 10's out there. Wonder what one of them would bring. 3 Million?

Default 52 psa 10 guess
If an 8 is going for 500,000 then a 9 would be 1.5 million, and a ten probably 3 mil or more. Some hedge fund manager yankee fan would know that a 10 is so rare that they may never get another chance. So my guess is it could top 3 million, possibly 5 million.

I would not be surprised to see it break the trimmed Wagner record if auctioned today. Like you said it could be years or decades before another came up. 5 mil doesn't sound impossible.

All depends on how badly the second hedge fund manager yankee fan wants it.
