Does anyone have a clue what a 2001 Topps Heritage Willie Mays Autoproof 1952 Topps #'ed to 25 card would go for in today's market? I have one graded a 4 by Beckett with a 10 grade on the signature but can't find any others that have sold to compare it to. To give more background, in 2001 Topps bought back 25 1952 Topps Willie Mays cards and had Willie sign them and then reinserted them in their 2001 Topps Heritage packs. I was lucky enough to pull one. I have only seen 5 accounted for via the pop reports on PSA and Beckett. Any help on understanding the price here would be much appreciated. Thanks!

That is an incredible card. Was it actually in the pack or a redemption?
I don't have any pricing info, but IMHO, you would:
(1) take the unsigned '52 value in your grade, plus
(2) the value of a Mays on-card auto, plus
(3) a hefty multiplier of #1 and #2 to account for the uniqueness of the entire package and the crazy Heritage guys
I am sure you already thought of that, but what the heck...
A similar card was discussed on here at least five years ago. I think it had sold for something like $6,500. I would spend some time with the search function and see if you can find the thread.
Awesome card!
It was actually in the pack, no redemption. Also thanks for the advice, much appreciated.
Can you post a scan?
Thanks,

I always thought it was a box topper. Awesome card
So cool that was in a pack. That would almost certainly be a redemption these days. Would love to see a scan too. I found a PSA graded one in google images that also graded a 4 (no auto grade).
Not 21k

Were these packs large enough for a 1952 Topps card?

JoeB has one....so do 2 other people i know of...but thats it! Joe paid a nice sum for it (but i don't know how much and not my place to say). $5000+ seems quite plausible. He has the only one i have ever seen. Thats amazing that it was in a pack because it would be 1/4" wider and taller than all other cards in the pack, so i am not sure how they could have put it in the pack without damaging it or designing a special pack wrapper.
Would love to see yours posted.
Edit: i see he just posted....

Could never of been in a pack as it would not fit. I too would love to see a pic and more info.

When I click on the link I can't see what it sold for. How much did it go for?
Article states the card was enclosed in a "boxloader".
The guy I bought my original one from told me the card was a boxtopper. He said he found it laying on top of the packs in a card saver, no pack around it. He sent me, what he said, was the original card saver.
