<< <i>this is a cool thread. Hey 1980'scollector what grade 52 mantle are you trying to get? whats your goal? >>
I plan to buy somewhere between a PSA 1-PSA 4.
If I earn enough money I would probably just buy the Mantle and use the extra money on another HOF rookie card instead of a higher grade 1952 Mantle. Don't want too much money in one card. However, that is something I would like input from the board members because I respect their opinions on vintage material alot.
I have been tossing around the idea of buying a 1951 Bowman RC Mantle and a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle if I can earn the funds through flipping.
I could get a Mick Rookie PSA 3 for around $2500.00 and then buy say a Mickey Mantle 1952 Topps PSA 3 I thought that would be a cool idea.
Here is a Mickey Mantle PSA 4 from Brent that I might have bought had I earned the money already.

Yes, I was able to pick these items up and sell them. The first is a Starlin Castro Topps Chrome Rookie Blue Autograph that I picked up from a local collector. I paid $40.00 for it and sold it for $65.00 via ebay.
The next item is sold and going all the way to Shanghai, China.
This is the 1996 SPx Silver complete set and 39 of the rare GOLD VERSION. I picked this up on our road trip in Louisville, KY. I paid $50.00 for the lot and sold it for $150.00 via ebay.
Another item was bought before he got hot from a local collector and sold on Sunday during the Redskins game. The card was bought for $100.00 and sold for $165.00. via ebay.
That is a gross profit of $190.00 and then about $30.00 in ebay fees.
The reason I have stopped posting cards until after I sell them is because I don't want board members to feel as though I am peddling my purchases on the board. I just want to share the journey.
That is a profit of $160.00.

The centering is off left to right and the reason for the PSA 6 grade because the surface is beautiful and the corners are nice. I really wish it was centered with some other flaws to make it EX-MT.

If I actually owned a PSA 6 brown I'd stay stay firm on your price to keep the price level stable. On flip side the 4 could have been really nicely centered hence the premium. In the scheme of things the ~$25 differential is small in the scheme of things and cashing in now and moving on to next major transaction is prob better move. Just my two cents. I love this thread.

Nathan ... the last PSA "6" to sell on ebay (09/09/12) went for $317.00. Looks like the centering (which I do not like) is similar to yours. (Hard to tell the details on your card as it's not a real good picture.) I say SELL NOW and move on.

The $300 is actually a good price based on the centering. The centering on the Brown is not so hot, so I would see if you could sell it for that off Ebay to save on fees, and ship it out!
<< <i>Depending on the conditon of the Sticker and the Jordan subs you should clear $ 80.00 - $ 100.00 on the deal if you sell them on ebay. >>

Bobby, my plan is to get no higher than a PSA 3 or 4 1952 Topps Mantle. I just don't want too much money tied up in one card. However, who knows.
If we make more money than that I would buy, in addition to the 1952 Topps, a 1951 Mantle Rookie or a Hank Aaron 1954 Topps Rookie or even a really nice Michael Jordan rookie.
Also, hoping to have five hundred left over at the end of the process to start over but we will just have to see how it plays out.

We have a decision to make. We got an offer on the Johnny Unitas gold auto BGS 9 for $550.00 via ebay.
It is a pretty rare card and will probably be put in a GEM MINT holder.
My thoughts are to go ahead and accept the offer and not risk it with countering say a $598.19 offer.

i cannot recall what you're into on the Unitas, but the strength of that card is that he signed it, it has some of his fabric in it and he's deceased. 9.0 vs 9.5 on the card has little to do with pricing IMO. Dont miss out on profit because of a "potential" .5 sub bump that may not matter all that much in the end.

Nate ... IIRC you paid $1,000.00 for the lot that included the Unitas card. If you take the $550.00 and then sell the Bench & Griffey at VCP (I think you sold the others) you should net ~$500.00 on that deal. I say sell the Unitas and go forward.

Thanks for the kind words. It helps me keep plugging along. It really stung to have to sell the MJ rookie. I really want a Michael Jordan rookie in my personal collection.

Transaction #51
I bought these two Michael Jordan rookies, this morning at my office, from someone who needed a little extra cash. Paid $600.00 for the pair. The sticker is really nice with four sharp corners and I got the wax stain off a little while ago.
That leaves a total of $2652.00 + the following cards

On flip side the 4 could have been really nicely centered hence the premium. In the scheme of things the ~$25 differential is small in the scheme of things and cashing in now and moving on to next major transaction is prob better move. Just my two cents.
I love this thread.
<< <i>First, I need your advice. I have an offer on the Jim Brown for $323.00 via eBay . I am curious on your thoughts on whether I should accept that offer or hold out for $350.00? It just seems low as the last PSA 5 went for $314.00. What is your opinion on that offer? >>
Nathan ... the last PSA "6" to sell on ebay (09/09/12) went for $317.00. Looks like the centering (which I do not like) is similar to yours. (Hard to tell the details on your card as it's not a real good picture.) I say SELL NOW and move on.

The $300 is actually a good price based on the centering. The centering on the Brown is not so hot, so I would see if you could sell it for that off Ebay to save on fees, and ship it out!
<< <i>Depending on the conditon of the Sticker and the Jordan subs you should clear $ 80.00 - $ 100.00 on the deal if you sell them on ebay. >>
I am going to try and make $200.00. It may not work out but I am going to try.
The subgrades are
Centering 7. 5
Edges 9.0
Cent 8.0
Surf 8.5
We got a good deal on the lot and passed a little of the savings on to the buyer.
Transaction #52 1958 Topps Jim Brown rookie PSA 6 sold for $323.00 and we will call that an even $300.00.

<< <i>You are well on your way. Any idea of what type of grade that you want, or is it just the best that money can buy at the time? >>
Bobby, my plan is to get no higher than a PSA 3 or 4 1952 Topps Mantle. I just don't want too much money tied up in one card. However, who knows.
If we make more money than that I would buy, in addition to the 1952 Topps, a 1951 Mantle Rookie or a Hank Aaron 1954 Topps Rookie or even a really nice Michael Jordan rookie.
Also, hoping to have five hundred left over at the end of the process to start over but we will just have to see how it plays out.
It is a pretty rare card and will probably be put in a GEM MINT holder.
My thoughts are to go ahead and accept the offer and not risk it with countering say a $598.19 offer.
Also, Transaction #52- We sold the Pete Rose PSA 7 for $90.00 via ebay. We will call that a net of $80.00

i cannot recall what you're into on the Unitas, but the strength of that card is that he signed it, it has some of his fabric in it and he's deceased. 9.0 vs 9.5 on the card has little to do with pricing IMO. Dont miss out on profit because of a "potential" .5 sub bump that may not matter all that much in the end.

Awesome work and keep it moving!!!
I've seen some attempt this and it fade away. You are moving so quickly, it's so impressive.
This is one of my favorite threads.

Thanks for the kind words. It helps me keep plugging along. It really stung to have to sell the MJ rookie. I really want a Michael Jordan rookie in my personal collection.
The reason I am going so hard is my brother really had worked hard to get into a WSOP Main Event. I want to make sure some of the money he gave away to others wasn't wasted.
