Most valuable card

What are you talking about? Did you mean to say what "if"? Or are you speaking of a Mantle or what?

It was a joke about the Wagner because of you saying there is no PSA 8.

I'm not so sure the Wagner being trimmed makes much of a difference. Plus the card has a history, Gretzky used to own it. If another psa 8 is discovered and they were both sold I would not be surprised if the new one went for less, and they both sold for less than a psa 10 52 mantle.

IMHO, the most valuable card, should it come out for sale, would be the best example of the 1914 Baltimore News Ruth (VG+, I believe), quite possibly contested closely by a PSA 10 '52 Topps Mantle. 8 figures would not surprise me for either. Each has become analogous to the early '60's Ferrari road/race models in our collectible field.

But wait ... I thought I had heard that all three PSA 10 Mantles had been hand cut from those uncut sheets.

Doesn't that make them "trimmed" too?

I mean the grade on them is just as bogus because they were not factory cut and issued cards.

Why the question marks and discrimination on the Wagner and not the Mantles? All 4 have been doctored in one way or the other.

What uncut sheets?

I assumed that all three Mantles are from Rosen's find.

Perhaps I heard wrong ... but I was told all three came from when that guy brought in the group of uncut high number sheets at one of those early card shows (back in the 1970s? 1978? in Atlantic city?). I seem to recall even hearing that the three Mantles were cut from the sheet right in front of someone at PSA and then directly handed to them for grading. (If I'm wrong on this - someone please correct me!)

I thought I had pictures somewhere of that sheet ... but all I could readily find in my photo archive was one of the other uncut sheets that walked in the door that day.

Do you have a source? Did a specific person tell you this?

So someone brought an uncut 1952 Topps high number sheet with Mantle on it to a convention in the late 1990s or 2000s (or later?) when PSA was grading onsite and cut the sheet up in front of them? I've never heard of this before. Are you sure? This doesn't seem possible or believable...especially considering that I know where the first PSA 10 Mantle came from.

It doesn't mean the story isn't true, but I have never heard of that before either?

Hopefully the poster can dig up some more info on it.
