You have to remember. The fact that many people didn't keep them is what makes them so valuable.
Didn’t the man who tried to (and mostly failed to) market them in the 50’s eventually dump them into the ocean?
Exactly. So when everybody keeps hot rookies of today, they either fade to oblivion or the demand hardly ever catches up to the supply.
Well yeah, that’s how value works on things like this, scarcity plus demand equals value.
@@MrDoughboyStyle it's why 80s and 90s baseball cards can be bought by the box dirt cheap. There's just too many of em out there since people bought them as investments.
@@krogdog the 52 set was very popular, only the 6th series was dumped in the Atlantic because it came out so late the World Series was over and the interest swung to football, kids didn’t want baseball any longer they spent their Pennie’s on football at that time. The famous dumping of the 52 cases didn’t take place until years later when Topps needed space in their warehouse.
That 52 tops set is just the most beautiful set ever!!
I'm a fan of 53 myself.
@@BrentonWade gonna have to go re look that one up!! I remember as a kid in the 70s my father took me to a coworker's house and he had TONS of cards!! Including the 52 mantle. ALWAYS loved baseball and collecting!!!
Rick: Best I can do is $250, I'm taking a gamble here".
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well done, sir
@619 OG or what????
Yea yea not like this is the thousandth time you wrote this joke right?
@@MrIcaru5 Lighten up my friend, classics never die.
Watching episodes like this put a smile on my face.
I could watch this all day
So much detail on great collections.
It was a treat to just even watch this video about them.
Your so right!....when do you ever get to see Jackie Robinson or a 1952 holy grail Mickey mantle...just sitting on that table...I literally have drool from the corner of my mouth I have to admit...big thrill just to see them like you said.
That mantle is the holy grail of cards. Well over $30g 's
I think the honus wagner is more rare.
It's hard to tell from the video but that Mantle is in great shape. A 9 sold for almost 3 million 2 years ago.
@@someguy2948 I think the guy graded them fairly. Even the Williams with the crease was a nice 3. Tough to get a 4 with a surface crease like that. I know what I paid for my 3, last year. LOL
100g if it’s Pristine
How about $5.2 million? But I think that was for a PSA 9.
These types of video's are Bitter-Sweet to me......Thrilled for the people who get those Wonderful Monetary Surprises.....AND.....reminds me of ALL those Wonderful Vintage Baseball Cards I put on my Bike Spokes to sound Like a Race Car......Oh The Humanity!! Cheers Everyone
If it weren't for you and other kids these cards wouldn't be worth as much as you all kept them in mint condition driving down any demand.
themonkeyhand--- That was as nice a reply as I have ever gotten...Thank you!! Cheers
The Stuport . I wouldn’t take the fun I had. From any of my toys as a kid. From keeping them in the pack pristine or whatever and selling them now for a high Mark. Those memories you can never get back. And there’s no amount of money. Someone could pay me for them
I never did that as a child on my bicycle.
Those cards are through the roof now
He lost me when he said 1 graded mantles are going for $5k... you could never get a PSA 1 mantle for less than 10k... never ever
back when that was shot, which was probably many years ago, low graded (1-2) mantles were going for around 5k and some selling for 2-3k
He lost me when he called it his rookie card
Yeah the guy had no clue what he was talking about. This was 3 yrs ago and he said a grade 5 52' Mantle is $30-50k.....It's more like 80k+ and this one is not a 5 , It's more like a 7 and at that grade it would be 100k+
@@anthonylong5870 No way that is a 7. Look at the centering and fading.
@@jameswilson461 You must not have seen to many authentic 1952's The coloring on that card is VERY good, That year had muted colors. Also vintage cards have a different grading scale that takes normal aging into account. And the centering is what makes it a 7...If it was more centered it would be at least an 8
Lowball figures, psa 5+ mantle easy sale at 60k-70k
Chuck Keough thats what i was thinking
Mantle cards have exploded (again) in the last 3 years. A PSA 5 1952 Mantle is going for 100K+.
This is an older video even though it was posted a couple days ago. I remember watching this. It's a least 2yrs old
Kicks self... about 25 years ago I had the opportunity to trade for a near mint 52 Mantle, would have graded a 7 maybe 8 these days... he wanted my stack of Old Judge cards (no hall of famers) five complete sets of 75 topps (Brett's in mint condition) and about 30 Brett rookie cards conditions from very fine to nm... plus $1,000
I didn't have the cash.. I had acquired the Old Judge cards from a book store of all places and traded my first car, a 1977 pea green Monte Carlo for the huge collection of 75 topps.
Very low figures. This guy really doesn't know how to grade vintage cards!
I been collecting baseball cards since I was a kid and.as soon as I saw them, I knew that the woman was gonna hit the ceiling when they told her what their worth, especially that Mantle.
Hes lowballing that Jackie Robinson...
@Boulder Pathways yeah ...i think 3500- 4500$...prolly more to the high end of that.
Thomas K it’s two years old, price on vintage has skyrocketed in the past two years
CS Perry last psa 5 1952 mantle sold for $48,000 and a psa six for $65,000 not really a low ball considering it was two years ago
Unless the back of the Robinson has a big defect, that thing is far better than a 6. Looks closer to an 8
@CS Perry your wrong
She needs to get them graded.
Dielonthug yeah. You would’ve figured he would’ve gave her some advice how to store them properly
That mantle will be a PSA 6 or higher easy
@@Bable012 such a beautiful card.
@Dmac 740 I'm not doubting the value at all
Dmac 740 you have no idea what you’re talking about, he graded it a 4
1952 Topps Mickey Mantle is legendary.
Is it a good one? my dad has one of those pretty nice shape too, he has no idea of values either
Love these kinda baseball card stories. Wonder what else was in his collection?
Pawn Stars would have given her 10 bucks and McDonald's coupon.
Love the Jackie Robinson the Red background pop's... The Ted Williams is an obscure card from the rare Wilson frank's set and most of them had staining from being packed in hotdogs... Wish I had a Ed Mathews from the 52topps set last card of the high number set also his rc card... Big money!!!👍💕🔥⚾💯
cool. always neat seeing these fresh to the market not yet graded
Card collecting is coming around again 👍🏼
love the roa show thank you
Baseball cards are my favorite. Awesome upload thanks Antiques Roadshow!
Low balled all of them. That Mantle would easily go closer to 50k+ (see completed sales on eBay)
Yeah that is a $40-50K easy.
Love me some Antique Roadshow, this is one of those shows that about 3-4 generations of my family all sit around watching it at random times on PBS. I agree he is a little low on a few of these, they probably could go for more. But the one thing we all know about selling and buying, is retail price. Very rarely will you actually get full market retail price for anything much less sports cards. In other words, like Pawn Stars, the buyer/seller has to make money also, so they won't give you $12,000 for a card worth $12,000. Plus these are ungraded so the appraiser is only speculating what they would be worth if graded. Grading is in the eye of the beholder, meaning one graders 6 might be a 4 or an 8, obviously the 4 worth less the 8 worth more. Regardless thank you very much for posting this I enjoy all of the "sports" and comic book related items that show up on Antiques Road Show. Happy Collecting!
Dang, and the Jackie Robinsonnis clean and has great centering
52 mantle is the cream of the crop of sports cards
1952 is not Mantle’s rookie card any expert would know that. His rookie card was 1951 Bowman, but the 1952 topps card is worth many times more than the actual rookie card.
@Myles Garrett I agree bowman should be more valuable, but the 52 topps mantle is his first topps card not his topps rookie card, he did not have a 51 topps card, you can only have one rookie card season and for the Mick it’s 1951. As an example you could say Stan Musial’s topps rookie card was the 58 all-star card but no one would say it’s his topps rookie card it’s just his topps first card. I know it’s semantics and you might say splitting hairs but it’s fun to share my own opinions, have a great day.
Strange they didnt know that
It his topps rookie
Its his first topps card and its many times more valuable than the 51 bowman because its ridiculously rare.
52 mantle was a double print
That Mickey Mantle card is worth a LOT of money and it looks like it's in really good condition.
OC but a $100,000 card
I feel sophisticated watching this
I’d buy that Mantle card for twice what he appraised it. He’s WAY off. That’s one of the holy grails.
Pawn Stars: hmmmm, ill give you 10 bucks, I'm taking a risk here. It will sit on my shelf for years, and I have to find that one nerd who wants the rookie card.
Scott don't take this poorly bad your joke is old and bad. You do know that Pawn Stars is fake right?
@@seaturtledog Easier their bud, who pooped in your breakfast today? I did not know YT has hired internet police these days. Last time I checked everyone is entitled to their opinion, you didn't have to read nor comment about my joke if you did not like it.
Yeah, let me have my friend come over and tell you what it's worth.
Glad you saved them!!
I love the stink eye people waiting in the background have sometimes. Great collection btw good for her and her family.
JUST IN: The 1952 Mickey Mantle Topps card (graded a PSA 9) has just sold for $2.88 million. It is the second highest price ever paid for a baseball card. #1 is $3.12 million paid for a T206 Honus
And just think if there was a card out there that was a 10 wow a lot of $$$$$$$
2 10s have been graded. They came from Mr Mints find in the 80s or 90s. If one of those ever gets auctioned it will break the internet baseball card forum websites lol
he played that wonderfully. he really surprised her with the last one.
Beautiful
lady in the back with the purse is like you better watch your back!! 🤣🤣
Psa 6 mantle going for easy $100k
It will be worth a lot less in 20 years all the rich baby boomers buying it will be dead
Bought some books from a garage sale in a box. |I got home and one book had a book mark in it. The book opened up to that page and to my surprise the book mark was a 1952 Mantle card in great shape. It was then I woke up and realized I was dreaming.
Even “experts” mistakingly call that Mantle’s rookie card.
The Michael Jordan 86 Fleer card is considered a rookie card even though Jordan was drafted in 84.
Genesis Owner Since when did that constitute a Rookie Card? Mantle’s first main issue card is the 1951 Bowman, which most people who know what they’re taking about agree is his Rookie Card. Not the 52 Topps.
Brainwashed Commercialized Hip-hop Is Dead Hardly any Rookie Cards back then were issued during a player’s rookie year. Almost all were issued a year or two after their rookie season.
Genesis Owner One thing I can promise you is that you’d never call me childish names to my face. Coward.
Mantle’s first mainstream card is 1951 Bowman. That’s his RC. Also has been listed that way in price guides for decades. 1952 Topps is his first Topps card but it’s not his Rookie Card.
Drooling over that Mantle card! I have decent 59,64,65,67 & 68 Mantles but I know all I'll afford is a reprint of the 52 unless I get lucky like a friend finding a 33 Goudey Ruth in an old dresser under the paper drawer liner he bought at a Salvation Army thrift store a few years ago. I recently bought a bunch (15)of 1968 pop up football cards that had never been popped up, at the same thrift store for $9.99 plus tax.Most were quarterbacks like Namath,Gabriel,Meredith,Lamonica etc...
You gotta be kidding me about your friend finding that card
There are some really nice official topps reprints of the mantle rookie. I like the 1991 version. You can also find some signed and authenticated reprints for around 5k, still cheaper than a real psa 1
Dude if that Mantle card hit an auction it would fly for over $200k.
My friend brandon had that same mantle card in grammer school in the 80s.
We would lay the cards on the garage floor and roll a marble to home plate where you would brush the batters card to hit the marble, if it rolled over a fielders card it was an out and how many bases was based on how far a fielders card was from it.
Needless to say the cards would have a grade of "0"
I hate it when they call the 1952 Mantle a rookie card. It's not.
Exactly, those of us that know the hobby in detail know it's the 1951 Bowman
51 Bowman is first prospect card where 52 Topps is first MLB Rookie card. Hence to why it’s 10x more valuable
In mint condition I’ll take the 52 over the 51 any day!
@@nickmatalucci7675 The 51 Bowman is the rookie card. The Topps is more in demand because it's a more desirable card.
lol I didn't figure watching a Green Bay roadshow would connect me to where I am but Davenport, WA is a very very small town thats an outlying community of my city. I am surprised they have an auction company lol. Not real surprised but its probably one of the few businesses there.
Hey, I used to live in Shiloh, TN, and there was an appraiser that was on that show that was also good friends with my stepfather.
The 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card is NOT his rookie card. HOWEVER....It IS his FIRST Topps card, and necause of that, it’s still worth a nice chunk of change. Awesome find, with an awesome story. 👍🏼
Dont care what you want to call it , what those of us in the card game that know whats up call it "the holy grail" of cards period and true rookie card or not that is his most valuable card by far and is "the card" that sets the valuation scale for "ALL CARDS" regardless of sport or et. all . So call it what you want but that cards reputation preceeds any appearance it could make.
@@mattportugal9668 what he’s saying my guy is technically it’s not his rookie his true rookie card was the 1951 Bowman and that’s the same set Willie Mays was a rookie quit taking it so seriously lol
Wild to think that only 6 years later that Mantle is now worth $130k+.
The Mantle card is worth a lot more in 2024. The reason this card is considered a holy grail card is twofold. First it’s the Micks first card from Topps and secondly it was part of the high numbered cards which came out later in season and a lot were destroyed so it’s super rare
It’s worth way more than that!
He’s going to be thinking about the day he set his coke can down on the Mickey Mantle card and lost $50,000
Kit Richardson.....thankfully, he didn't put it in the bike spokes !
The people that know least about them cards has always nice value cards
All worth so much more now
Always nice to see a video like this especially since my dad has 6 of the Mantle rookie cards graded at an 8.5 that he's passing on to me. Makes me wonder just how high they'll go when I get to his age
Dude you’re rich 😂😂
you have about 25 million worth of cards
Each one of those is worth 5-8 million a piece....so you have 30-50 million easily. Kinda hard to believe that you are sitting on 6 - 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle cards graded 8.5 or higher, and nobody knows about it.
Graded by PSA? Unlikely.Psa has only graded 5 Mantles at 8.5 total.Beckett's graded 0. So tell me,what company are they graded with?
I got 8 mantle rookie cards..7 at grade 8 1 at a 9. 4 Mays rookies at 7 and 3 babe ruths
1952 Topps PSA 6 Mantle is selling for $92k on eBay as we speak it’s May 28th 2020.
Today it’s selling for $134K & it’s May 4th, 2024.
She had no idea they were so valuable which is why they're kept in individual cases.
A lot of these people know exactly what they have.
brunoblivious “oh I didn’t know big block Sting Rays were worth anything... just an old car to me”
It's more likely that they were in the single sheet holder, and the staff for the Antiques Roadshow put them in the individual case. Does being suspicious all the time make you happy?
@@dannylim3318 You read one comment from 2 years ago and say I'm "suspicious all the time."
Does making assumptions all the time make you happy?
That Mantle Rookie though!
It’s not his rookie card, ‘51 Bowman was.
If she sold right after this show, at those estimates, she is experiencing MASSIVE seller's remorse right now.
My grandfather has 4 of the Mickey Mantle 1952 cards.
He also has a huge unopened box of 1952 topps cards. Theres probably 10 or 12 more in there.
You willing to sell any cards from that 1952 set ?
@@brad9284 are your really that stupid
Yeah right
Not to nitpick, but he didn't even mention the centering issue on the Mantle.
It was no accident that she got the cards out of the attic before the storm!😮
that mantle looked to be higher than 5. the robinson card for sure is higher.
Way too low on that Jackie Robinson
7s + i agree
The Wilson Franks is worth $7k now (a few 4's sold), the Jackie is about $35k, the Mantle is worth up to 80 though a lesser 5 sold for $20k earlier in 2021 (but a 2 fetches at least 30k now.) I wish I had been collecting before 2019, based on what I did with Nolan Ryan RC's I would loved to have dominated signed RC's for DiMaggio, Williams, Bird/Magic, Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Banks; only one I came close to in baseball was Aaron I almost bought a trimmed RC before his last signing (finally got a Bird/Magic RC, but Magic's signing fee rose from $30 in 2017 to $1000 for RC's in 2022; hope that drops back a bit.)
Wow I hope she kept these
My mind is blown thinking about the Carnage that tornado did to all those other cards that got lost, damaged.
Crazy
There worth over a million now
My goodwill find dream are these cards
If only mom’s understood what “collectible” meant
why do they say this is a Mickey Mantle Rookie card? It is not a rookie card. There is only ONE true Mantle rookie card, and that is the 51 Bowman!
The 52 Jackie today is worth about $30,000 as a PSA 6
Given this important fact, the 1951 Bowman card stands as the only true rookie card. Some claim that because 1952 was the year Topps produced a flagship set 9 and it's Mantle's First Topps Card (FTC) that somehow this translates to it being a rookie card.
Because it was his first Topps card, it is referred to as a "Rookie" card without it being his rookie card.
Ya these cards looked pretty dang clean even with the blemishes def get a second opinion.
Wow!
I need to find some unopened packs for a fresh Mickey Mantle 😍
My dad had a great vintage card collection, sadly don't know what happened to them.
The Mantle one is way low. It's easily worth double.
Value increases fast and I'm sure this was filmed a while ago.
without seeing the back it would grade at a 6. but, I'm afraid it may have been trimmed at some point. hopefully I'm wrong.
Here we are in April 2021 and those Mickey Mantle PSA 5 cards are going for $100K+. Hope she held on to that one!
That Mantle is well over 40K now
This is the best.
wow! wow!!
My friend took some stuff to get appraised, he said it was basically an expo to sell old people insurance lol
This lady had a 52 topps mickey mantle one of the holy grails and she had no idea what is was could you imagine grandma finding this card in the attic amazing
They were all at least a grade eight just for the color in the crispness of the cards 7 min
JASON WISE I thought his grading was pretty good. That mantle has a big ding upper right. Off center. I even said in my head before he called out a number that that mantle looks to be a 5 nearing to a 6....so maybe 5.5 on psa. But that mantle in that grade should get over $100k. Would be stupid to sell for less.
Lol my Grandpas mom gave all his cards away when he went to college. Most of his cards were from the 40s and 50s. He had a few older Ruth's and several Williams and Mantle rookies. I've seen him get upset one time...and it when he told me that story.
If I had collected baseball cards, I would have said to my parents point blank, "Throw away my cards and I will not only put you in the worst nursing home that I can find, but I will also alter your will and have control over all of your money and possessions". Let them recover from the shock of that statement.
That mantle would do more than his 40 Gs quote today if there are no wrinkles. Those corners look relatively good and the coloring isn’t bad.
Thats not Mantle's rookie. The 1951 bowman is. How could they mess that up?
03:05 that look that she’s giving him
The two most recent 4s on ebay sold for around $150k, and $100k. Wow!
She needs to get those graded by PSA for them to be worth anything.
Everybody looks so envious around her
That Mickey Mantle with the recent bill run in card collecting is worth a couple hundred thousand now
That mantle is a easy psa 4-5 maybe 6 hopefully psa didn’t wake up on the wrong side of the bed and slap a OC on it but easy $50-60k
What's OC.?
A PSA 5 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, is easily a 6 figure card. Between $120,000 - 170,000.
I can't see the cards up close, but based on what I can tell, and from a condition standpoint, he's significantly underrating both the Robinson and the Mantle cards.
Mantle card is off center. Most likely a PSA 6 or 7 due to its condition.
Tha Robinson is a solid 5k
And this was before the Mantle rookie sold for over $5 million. Also just a little before baseball cards skyrocketed in 2019/2020. That card would likely be worth double whatever he estimated at this point... maybe more.
That Mick is wayyyyyy higher now.
