Option A
52 Mantle PSA 1

Option B
87 Fleer Jordan PSA 10
1980 Topps Super cello box (BBCE)
Bird / Magic rookie PSA 8

It does seem to be a choice of the “old” versus the “new”. Option B seems to have more upside, but Option A is the 52 Mick. Can the PSA 1 really appreciate beyond 15-20k? Ah, the unknown questions....

    Option A, he is the Mick. Option B are speculative at best, while the 52 Mantle has stood the test of time.

    If the numbers are equal right now, i'd probably go with option b. yester years woulda been mantle all day. but basketball and unopened is absolutely skyrocketing.

    For me, it really comes down to how well **centered **the Mick is..... if it's appealing I'd take it.

    Yup, not all 1’s are the same. Nonetheless I’d _strongly _ lean toward the 52 Mick.

    who knows from an investment standpoint. Thats a lot of money in cards, so if you are just wanting an investment put it towards some water front property or some amazon stock, lol. I'd personally go with what you like and will enjoy more, and if it happens to appreciate in value than you got a bonus.

    Thx guys.

    Most of the 1’s I’ve seen are dogs. Not only OC but beat up. And the rate great 1 is prob 20k. I also wonder whether kids under age 35 will give a hoot about Mantle. I own the opened listed so I’ve been thinking it over.

    I would go with A if is was a well cent. 1.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
