Most over-valued card

[darwinbulldog]

1952 Topps #311.

[ALR-bishop]

It seems like everyone who does not have that card has that opinion

[Billy5858]

EVERY post war PSA 8 thru 10 centered Rookie card at this time

Unless I owned one of course

I'd have to go with the Mantle because it is no longer available to a lot of us.

I realize it is an iconic card in the industry, but it price level should NEVER have reached the Wagner neighborhood.

Let's say there are 60 known Wagner cards in existence...how many '52 Mantles are there? Several thousand? I have no idea.

Now, I realize that a lot of you guys put them in your bicycle spokes ,
but give me a break...

Honorable mention now goes to the M116 Sporting Life - Smoky Joe Wood, a PSA-7 copy of which just sold for $1,925- give me another break.

The Wood card was one of only seven personal white whales I was still looking to land...the Mantle has long since been removed...for realism sake. I will continue to search for a Wood in EX graded condition, but I am not very optimistic.

I bid on that Wood card in the early stages.................Then it took off....Just forget it. I bailed

I'll go with Jordan's rookie.

No way!

I think the current, Rose RC is a bit much, but that's just my opinion.

[pokerplyr80]

I still think the 52 Topps Mantle will keep going up, quite a bit from current levels. If I had enough money I would be buying more.

There are a couple of rookies that have recently went nuts that I think will come back down.

[JTysver]

'68 Ryan Rookie.
It was valued at $25 until the mid 80s and took off with the Card Boom of the late 80s. Its a very common card also.

That sounds like sour grapes. To me that's a pretty sane price for a great player with very few cards in fantastic condition.

I have a 1939 Play Ball graded set around 60% complete averaging about 5.5 and I'm worried I'll never get the Williams now even if I go to my absolute bottom on the card which would be a 3. 3-4 months ago that wasn't an issue.

I would have to say the 1952 topps #1 Andy pafko. I know it's the #1 card in the set and hard to find in nice shape but $5000 for an ok player.

Agree with this 100%. It's his only portrait and his most beautiful card. His T207 could rival it but just isn't very pleasing the eye. Supply and demand.

Not prewar, but certainly Vintage, the Reggie rookie has always been a tough sell.
