51 Mantle RCs up for auction
So there are 5 of these up in the current pwcc auction in a similar range. An SGC 6, SGC 5, PSA 5, PSA 4 pwcc cert. high end, and a PSA 7 mc. It will be interesting to see where they close, but as of now the 4 is well ahead of the rest, and the qualified 7, generally thought to be the equivalent of a straight 5 is well behind. Curious to see if you guys have a favorite, or a thought as to which should sell for the most.
The PSA 4 is centered the best, but I think the SGC 6 looks better and is very well centered too. It does have the print line though.

I think the PSA4 will sell for the most because of the eye appeal and corners. It is NOT dead centered like the description says though. The SGC6 is better centered but has the print lines and the SGC5 will probably be the best value of the group.

Irv I saw the 6th, a BVG 2.5. I thought these 5 were interesting because a PSA 7 with a qualifier, an SGC 6, and a PSA 5 are thought to have a similar value, and a nice PSA 4 might outsell them all. Also, the PSA 5 and SGC 5 have similar eye appeal and centering, so I'm curious to see how much of a difference the grading company will make. It's not often we get to see so many similar examples of a high profile card in the same auction.

I am trying to figure out why it is only a "4"...I have not looked closely but it seems to be "undergraded". Certainly has good eye appeal.

It appears to have a lot of surface discoloration or saturation of some sort.
Otherwise it is a sharp example. |

Can someone please explain what happened over the last 4-5 years? Why are these Mantle's in such high demand? Including the '52.
In 2010 you could've bought my '51 PSA 5 for less than $5,000 off a BST board. Were those the golden years for buyers? Or is this a last hoorah for baby boomers who are going after their prized heroes? By the way the '52 Topps PSA 2 pictures sold for less than $7k after fees. I'm trying to make a comeback and upgrade but it's a tough pill to swallow with how the prices have skyrocketed. |

The 51 Mantle PSA 4 while a PWCC HE and decent centering has a crease as stated in the description, so no matter how many times someone were to review and sub it would always stay a PSA 4 per PSA's grading standards. IIRC if a card has a slight crease "it can grade up to a 4" - that means this one will never bump despite the fact it is a decent looking card.
