Some people have all the luck. That Mantle may be better than a 5.

I thought his estimates were on the lower side. Thanks for posting this Doug. Very interesting. Was this a recent clip?
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
That was great to watch!
Love her reaction at the end!
Someday, someone may discover the 10 Bob Hamelin rookie cards I have buried in a coffee can in the backyard.
Happened on eBay once. The lady listed it for $500 so I bought it and sent her a check for $5,000 after I got it lol
I believe it was, my brother sent it to me today and I looked for a date stamp on it but didn't see one. I think the the actual show hasn't played yet.
Thanx Doug
I haven't watched this episode - haven't checked my "saved" so not sure if that was last week or this one coming up?
On my screen, I see what appears to be "scuffing" on t he surface? If so? I think 5 is generous. Just a guess.
Thanks for the zoom in Mike. Unless that's holder scratches which is possible right? Agree with you, a 5 would be generous especially with the centering.
Agree Doug.
Was wondering if it's the holder - still if offered to me for Christmas? I wouldn't turn it down.
The only thing you'll find in my attic is heat. Lots of it.
The cards pictured wound up selling in the auction house of the appraiser and sold in their 11/2017 auction. All were graded by PSA. Mantle got a 5, Robinson 6, Williams 4.
I think he said Mantle 5, Robinson 6, and the Williams a 2. Correct?
The cards were sold by the appraiser's auction house 11/2017. They graded the 3 cards seen in the video along with many others for the auction. The appraisal seen in the video occurred prior to submission to PSA.
I just meant the estimates he gave her on their condition. He sounded quite knowledgeable.
when I had my ceilings down, I thought I would be nice to put some 1988 Donruss Devon White cards up there!..There isn't an attic so the only way to discover them is to rip the roof off. I'm thinking about putting some 87 Topps cards into the walls too.

I may be hoarding too much 80's junk wax but I like it!
ty for posting this!!!!!!!
For sure, especially calling that card a rookie. I don't know why it bugs me so since it is an honest mistake many times, but if you are an expert, you should not make this mistake. Since this card has garnered so much media attention in the last couple decades, it would be nice if they didn't misidentify it as his rookie all the time. Perhaps first Topps card would be appropriate , but that doesn't roll off the tongue like rookie.
