52 topps mantle

Overrated

I am thinking about selling my 52 mantle psa 7, any ideas would help? not sure about auction houses, ebay, dealer, etc any help I would appreciated.

Allen

Could you post a scan here? I would say go to a major auction house.

williplett

I would lean towards the major auctions houses too, assuming their prices aren't too outrageous. A scan would be nice. But, I am guessing you don't just ahve it laying around the house.

My scan is 68 KB and I don't know how to make it smaller so I can attach it. Can anyone help?

try www.imageshack.us and copy paste the link. good luck with the card!

joestalin

who do auction houses know that anyone here or anyone on ebay doesn't? Start flashing it around and stick an email addy with it. Why
pay some big shots to get all the glory and big cut. You have the card and you have the resources. Go get the money!

auction house, unless you are an established powerseller on Ebay.

My wife is going to put or try to put the pics up monday ,I like the advice I am getting and very thankful for it. your right I should flash it around ! and see how I do? the last psa 7 I saw sold was december sold for 41 grand! smr is 23 grand? I no this is way undervalued ? hope to find serious buyer, my card is very strong 7. again thanks for advice this board is the greatest!

Normally, I would agree with JS - go get the money yourself. But, in this case, due to all the Mantle scams out there - you almost have to use a big auction house to guarantee you get top dollar for this card. This means giving them a nice cut, of course - but I think you'll make that much extra by listing it through one of them - enough to offset their vig.

I agree with CT.
You can't be too impulsive selling it, and you could NEVER be too cautious !!!
Can't wait to see the scan.

Ebay with escrow offered.

I have sold 3 on ebay over the past few years, the highest being a 6. That being said,(although mine did fairly well) for a 7 I would go with the auction house too. When it is all said and done their cut isnt much worse than ebays, and you will definately get more credibility.

jackstraw

Send the scan to me johnbouffard@sbcglobal.net and I will put it up for you.

look into huggins and scott auctions. very strong prices realized on vintage cards esp. 1952s. seems to be the best bet.

mikeschmidt

For a card like that - you can probably also negotiate 0% commission, which will make an auction house a good venue.

RonBurgundy

Probably an auction house although I would shop it a little here first. There are enough powerbrokers on this board that someone might have an interest.

tennesseebanker

Not that I can afford it, but how much does the 52 Mantle go for??Does it sell over Smr ??

Jackstraw thank you! board jackstraw offered to post scans for me cant wait for board to see! please review let me no what you think?

tkd7

Seems like an auction house would be best but many seem to have problems reaching customers with catalogues and getting their internet bidding up.

An ebay based auction house like Legacy is also and option. Probably the best situation would be to try to play one auction house off the other.

Mantlefan

Absolutely Mastro or REA. I "stole" mine on EBAY for $19K because no one else bid on it. The bigger fish all use the auction houses to buy high end stuff.

WinPitcher

Can we see the pic?

I agree, go with an auction house.


Steve

GlynRParson

On a card like that REA, Mastro, Drent at Mile High, Goodwin or Memory Lane would all probably get similar prices. If you want the money sooner rather than later i would shoot Levi@707sportscards.com an email he is desperate for more 1952 Mantles right now and it is a card he has been known to pay big money for.

WinPitcher

PIC?

Steve , Jackstraw offered to put up pics, sent scans just waiting? hope he can do it?

TZAHL

I've got a 1986 Topps Razor Shines in PSA 3 OC....trade anyone?

TZAHL

Oh, and I would probably start drooling if a pic of the Mantle were to be posted!!!! Do it do it!

Jackstraw could you please post pics I sent you?

WP why you so anxious to get pictures posted? Damn man calm down before you have another seizure.

Allen

I guess someone promised to post his pic and has yet to follow up. I would be excited about posting pics of my 52 mantle PSA 7

Here you go:









Have a good day and good luck.

williplett

Very nice card!! Best of luck with selling it. You should get a pretty penny for it.

jackstraw

Guys, sorry I was at work all day yesterday. I actually never received a scan of it to my email? It looks nice overrated! I would go with an aucion house after you offer it up here first. You might get what your looking for and you will minus all the fees>Plus I would scan it so its not tilted, with the lid of the scanner opened so it has a black background. I fixed it up a little so its not so blurry.

tennesseebanker

Crack and resubmit, that looks like an 8 ! lol

WinPitcher

Very nice indeed. You should do well with that example!


Axhole, go back to the cesspool sports forum where you belong. I will slap you around over there. No need to ruin this thread like you ruin all others. MUTT

Thank you guys for the scans, hope to find interest, I very thankful for all the advice, this board is #1.

That is one nice card! Whoever ends up with it will have a jewel of a card.

Allen

Sweet card, makes me wish I had bought that rather than paying for college. I would not mind working at McDonalds if I knew that card was waiting at home for me lol.

Overrated

Allen, thanks I am still laughing!

HoofHearted

Be still my heart...

Any estimates on what this would go for if someone were to make an offer here??

Allen, funny thoughts! I was just trying to figure out what I could sell/hawk/pawn off to raise cash for something sweet like this. Sell a first-born, sell the car, sell the rest of my collection(?!)... They all crossed my mind!

Mantlefan

Great centering on that one!

larryallen73

Nice card. What does a 7 sell for?

jaxxr

It is just me, or does the top left corner appear slightly rounded ??

Perhaps just the scan, scanner, scanee, or whatever, but the other 3 front corners look good. Dont mean to diminish anything about a PSA 7 Topps Mantle, which is a fantastic card, just wonder if anyone other than me noticed the corner's dullness in the picture.

:

WinPitcher

I thought that corner was the reason it was a 7. So, yes, I noticed it too.

Still a beautiful example.

Thanks for posting it.
