I agree with the comment above. But I mean it is the YANKESS team we are talking about here.
But would have to kind of say yeah why not.
I dont follow this set in high grade but again it's the Yankees Team card. Mantle,Maris,Berra just to name a few on the card itself.
Btw can you just give it to me for free? Please?
Stick it in the next auction and let's see how high it goes. I'd bet there are collectors out there that would rather have the Yankees team card than Cepeda.
Considering that it is a Yankees team card places the card on a different level than other team cards. The fact that it is a PSA-10 and a POP 1….would probably place it in the ballpark of the Cepeda….dollar-wise. IMHO
The floor might be the Cepeda 10…the chances that another 10 being out there is small in my opinion. As Chris did…you would have to pull it from a pack…and pray production of that card was perfect.

I think since it is the Mantle and Maris Yankees, it should easily approach the Cepeda price. Not so much if it were the Twins or Indians.
It's also the team pic when Maris hit his 61 Home Runs.
It all depends on how high the top two bidders are willing to go. A low pop PSA 9 1969 Mike Andrews recently sold for $27k. A few other 1969 commons with slightly higher pops sold for under $5k each.

And there are some big time collectors in that group. I am going to say 50 000$+ since it is the Yankees and a 1/1. A rare Allen Iverson card numbered out of 3 just sold for over 700 000$. I mean I prefer your card and I am sure many feel the same having Mantle on it.
I would sell it and buy some rookie card I always wanted if I still collected sports cards. A nice Babe Ruth card or something like that. Since I am Canadian most likely the best 1966 topps Bobby Orr rookie I could buy with the funds.
Or find a way to announce for trade some top whale collectors would jump all over the chance to get your card. Trade could be more profitable.
A 1933 Goudey Ruth card...a couple nice ones in the February Platinum Night Auction right now...SGC-7 (PWCC-E) and SGC-7.5 (PWCC-E).
I saw the Iverson at $700,000+ in the just closed January Heritage Auction at #1...2nd highest was the Star Jordan PSA-8.5 at $370,000+. My 1951 Bowman Mantle Rookie SGC-7 came in 13th at $78,000+ w/sales tax.
I would think that if a team card ever was to maintain a premium like the Cepeda, it would be a Yankee team card from a year that is famous in Yankee History (1961 team ie 1962 Topps team card).
I think Cepeda is more valuable. A 9 of the Yankees team recently sold for $960 while a 9 of Cepeda sold for $1,075 and that was the last sale back in 2021.

PSA 10's are on a complete different level than 9's from this time period. His card is a POP 1. The people buying 10's are also very rich for the most part not so much for most 9's (excluding HOF cards).
We are talking about the Yankees here then add Mantle to the mix (and Maris HR season of 61). These 2 things can push a sale to a very high result.
I changed my mind. I looked up the 1962 set on the registry - Yankees team is weighted a 3 while Cepeda is weighted a 2. Since the registry is a big factor I would say the Yankees team would sell for more.

Only 50K for the '62T Yanks PSA 10 would probably be a steal.
Just a guess if I said a lot more than that people would have said not that much so decided on 50k. No one knows till it would come up for auction. Could be 50k could be less could be a whole lot more.

I had to go back and check my records....We took a consignment of a raw 1969 Topps Baseball set in January of 2007. Out of the 660+ in the set, we sent 150 cards in for grading. The card #52 Mike Andrews came back a PSA MINT 9. At the time it was only the 4th example at that level, no 10s. Couldn't recall what it sold for, but let's guess it was around 27K less than the most recent sale.
Wow.
All is fair in love and war and third party grading.

Wow.
The earliest sale captured in VCP was in 2007 when one sold on eBay for $167.51. Maybe that was yours? I picked mine up about 25 years ago. Anyone who said over the years that low pop commons is a bad investment is wrong. I don't know about spending $27k on one but if you pick them up in the ballpark of historical sales, they are worth it.

Quite likely, that was the one. Most of the cards that we graded and sold from consignment agreements predated the pricing services which started to evolve around that time. I could shake my head in misery over some of the low pop cards that have since skyrocketed in value, but there were thousands upon thousands of cards sold back then. Most of what was low pop in the past is far more populated now. Hopefully, the current owners are enjoying them.
All is fair in love and war and third party grading.
I'm waiting to hear if UFFDAH has changed his mind about keeping that card in his collection. Here's a controversial position. I agree with everything everyone has said about what the card might sell for. Haha. I have no idea.
Super volatile, for sure. Set registry competition, no doubt. I would be tempted to ride the wave and consign it, but in the end, if I was in the same position... card I pulled from a pack... those are hard to let go.
When I decide to sell a more rare example I will first look at the registry to see if anyone might be interested there and I'll reach out to gauge interest.
Normally, I would go with the player card over the team card.
However, I think the significance of the Yankees depicting Maris & Mantle along with the others - I think the Yankees card is more valuable 8 out of 10 times over Cepeda.
That said, I think the 2 out of 10 times may have been found in the Cepeda - the winner & the under-bidder.
BTW, I could have sworn I picked this card up ungraded in what looked to be really nice condition. Perhaps Cepeda was in the center of the sheet...?
I would sell it or trade it. The money can go a long way I mean imagine getting a card you always wanted because of this pull. I would be super happy to have those funds. The more I think about it your card could fetch 100k or more. I mean is it worth keeping since you are not likely the person that wants it the most for their collection. If it was a 1951 Bowman Mantle I would keep it (I mean in lower grades a 10 I would sell and buy a lower grade since I am not rich and if I was rich I would keep it).
You made the pull of a lifetime now I say take the money and do better things with it versus just owning a card like I said that is not likely a card you love as say the 1958 Topps Jim Brown you pulled. I could be wrong just a gut felling.
If I traded it I would have to get at least 50k to 100k in trade. Is your card worth more than that maybe like I said it is a ''Mantle card'' in PSA 10.
I would personally be much happier with say an authentic T206 Eddie Plank or something along those lines. A 1933 Goudey Lajoie, Jackie Robinson rookie, Hank Aaron rookie and on and on.
Imagine if you get the 2 right bidders and it sells for 100's of thousands of dollars I mean that is life changing money for most people. I would be so happy. Anything is possible with this card since it has 3 major things going for it and 4 if you add in the grade.
I would buy the next 9 that goes for sale and sell the 10. But I collect differently and I know the goal of this collection is to have pack pulled cards.

Why cute? By today's standards, the sky's the limit it seems. As mentioned just a few posts ago, someone paid over 27K for a 1969 Topps common card of which there are 10 currently existing in the highest grade, a PSA MINT 9. Using a multiplier to predict the value of a 1962 Yankees Team Card PSA GEM MINT 10, POPULATION 1, the "only" ONE, now you tell me how much you think it should fetch. It's no dream to the person who owns it. Someday it could make him much wealthier.

I just mean the idea of spending 50K on one card just because of a number on a label (I mean it's not like this is a Mickey Mantle or something) and not even giving it a second thought. I wish I could be that rich
If a 1969 Mike Andrews non-rookie sells for $27k in a PSA-9 (POP 10), then why wouldn't a 1962 Topps baseball card with the
very difficult and unforgiving brown borders to the edge of the card...not sell for an astronomical amount when the card is a Yankees Team card with a POP of one (1) and a PSA-10!
Anyways good luck with whatever you end up doing with the card. You were very lucky to pull it. As far of its value we will all see once it hits the auction block if id does get sold.

Hey all -
I noticed this POP 1 1962 just sold at Heritage. Do you think it is indicative of the value of my POP 1 Team Card of the Yankees WS Champs?
IMHO a 1/1 Vintage HOFer exceeds that of any team card. By how much is something for the market to determine
BTW WOW on both

Of course the problem with a 1/1 is it sinks like a stone if it becomes a 2/2.
I'm on the other side. I think it will have more demand. Think of all the registry set players on this card. I think it would bring more!
The floor might be the Cepeda 10…the chances that another 10 being out there is small in my opinion. As Chris did…you would have to pull it from a pack…and pray production of that card was perfect.

I would cherish an iconic card in high grade….instead of a team card PSA-10.
But to each is his own…good luck, Chris in whatever decision you make.
Here are some 73's back from grading. Not taking the time to share all.
73 is out of my craving system now. Super Fun experience pulling all the HOF'ers but tough beyond that.
I LOVE the 73 set but it will beat the joy out of you and make you question all your collecting choices.
Centering is horrible and the black backs are almost impossible to find clean.
Yep 1973 Topps Baseball is a Cruel Mistress!
What a great problem to have!
Looks like the new crib is getting some upgrades!
