And I think they would be crazy paying $100
Lmaoooo that’s chum lee for sure 😂😂😂
YESSSS!!! HE ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO SELL IT BEFORE THE MARKET CHANGES!
But they take all the risks
Can we do $175?
His grandkids are gonna love selling that
And they never will have to work again.
Pretty good investment if you ask me
no
By the time this card is sold they will be paid in digital "credits"....mark my words! Wake up people!!! REPENT!!! Christ is coming!!!
I think it's fair if they do. I think for heirlooms there's a value and personal connection equation. I'm 30 and I have no idea who that guy is on the card it's not like it's something with the family backstory worth millions, it's a baseball player from the mid 20th century
Lol
Imagine paying $12 million for a picture of another man
😂
Relax nerd, you'd pay more than that for a Pokemon card...
when you put it like that...😟
@@justinamenta7241 lmaooo he did it to himself by putting Pokémon in his username💀

In '92 I was 12 and working in a card shop. I got the job because we lived down the road and so I was going there everyday and helping in any way possible. Cleaning glass cases, vacuuming, windows, trash, etc. I read the Beckett front to back daily and memorized all of the card prices so that I could tell customers who asked what thier cards were worth. I'll never forget the older gentleman that brought his 1952 second year Mickey Mantle in. I was so excited to tell him it was worth $52k at the time. The most expensive card in the Beckett at the time by a longshot. This is such a beautiful example of it. Hope he and his family enjoy the profits when it comes time to sell it.
Cool story man! Love it when I see someone's wholesome story on the internet for a change, that isn't just "me" centered. Everyone on the internet tries to make it all about themselves, it's cool to see a story like that (also history now) told for the sake of simple enjoyment. Additionally, man I wonder how much that card is today..
I know there’s a 1951 bowman but I thought the 1952 was the one that was considered his big RC.
But makes since 1951 bowman RC year nevermind.
that's an interesting story, thanks for sharing
Facts. Still gets me geeked lookin at it and I stopped collecting in 92
Really neat. Thanks
He paid $121,000 in 1996 and it's valued at $12 Million. Mantle and Ruth were the two great and most popular players in history.
@bill-tr6fbsuch a D 😂💀…..
But come on hood for that man.
Cap a black guy was
I think that beats the Grey Market in returns
Ruth record was broken by a black man
Probably worth a 100 million
At his age, I’d sell it
Hell no
He probably rich and don't need that money ..he can keep that card as family heirloom and pass down to his kids ..
He's probably saving up for his great great grandchildren. Set them up for life After he pass
He's got Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, and other cards from the beginning that are graded at 8s! His collection is sick.
He bought that for 100k it's obvious hes already rich even in his younger days
Rick harrison - best i can do is 100$ bucks and im taking a huge risk 😂😂😂
I had Mickey Mantle and Roger Marris rookie cards in the early 60s. Mickey was clipped to the front spokes of my bike- Roger was on the back.😢
That hurts my soul!
I put that card in my bike back wheel spokes back in the day.
ya, I had a couple of Willie Mays Yogi Berra and some guy named Ruth,, made great sounds,
@@user-bl6ne3hc6n my parents say the same thing if they had all the cards they put in their bicycle wheels we'd be rich
Me too
I sold one like that to this funny white guy who constantly used the word colored when referring to black people. Got over 100k.
@Faze 2 a comedian once said, I have no idea why you white people call us colored, when we get hit in the eye it just hurts, when you white people get hit in the eye, you all turn black and blue, NOW WHO'S COLORED?????😁😁😁😁
Whoever inherits that after his death will auction that so quick it will have burn marks on it.
It'll probably sell for $121,000. It's only worth $12 million if anyone is willing to pay it for a baseball card.
Shit I'm cashing out immediately
@@brandonbp122 You obviously have no idea how crazy the card game has gotten.
They estimate that card to be worth 50 million
@@joegooslin9719 nobody is shelling out 50m for a card.
Proves our value in humanity is less than a piece of paper
My father was lucky enough to meet Mickey Mantle at the baseball hall of fame dinner when he was a kid. He was taken there by Sandy Koufax. During his stint away from baseball he was a union electrician and ended up on a job with my grandfather. They became friends and my dad was a child who loved baseball. My grandmother even told me that one time Sandy came to their home and gave dad pitching lessons in the backyard while there visiting my grandfather.
Koufax,,,class act
The best ever.
Gotta believe in yourself. No one else gonna do it for ya. Good for this man
Too true man
And the man never cashed out and was down 120 thousand for that long
Mf obviously rich to spend 120k on a card
He was rich 🤑 look him up there’s lots of content and info out there his story is a good one. His collection is the best in the world.
No cap
I had a Mickey Mantle's card in the 50s
"1 Step ahead, you're a genius. 2 steps ahead, and you're a crackpot"
When you're worth more dead than alive
Son. His grandkids are like come on man..😅
Fact😂😂😂😂😂
Anyone who pays that for a card, needs checking in to a psychiatric unit
Well you are just brokie cause people with money buy stuff that there’s only 1 of i the world like it so they can have something no one else does.
No it has a worth so he kinda invested
I know he better sell it before everybody willing to pay that for it dies off
Coming from a guy with NOODLES as his name.
Can’t say that when people buy nft’s that cost more at least this is physical
I bought one of this exact card, signed by MM… traded it for a set of the 97 Braves championship team cards - all signed. I was stupid AF as a 10 year old. 😂😭
He gonna have some happy grandkids
It’s crazy that card is worth more money than Mickey had
Or made!
I remember what these went for back in the early mid 90s when I collected and it was still huge. This blows my mind! You could get a nm/mint Mickey Mantle rookie card for about $50-80k was the list prices... One of the best investments I've ever seen. You deserve every dime
When I was collecting cards this was the baseball card everybody wanted to get.
Hopefully he has his will set right ✅️ 🙏
Left it all to the cat
@@mikeknapp6305lmao I'm dead 🤣
Brings it to GameStop: “well give ya .87 cent in store credit!”
I spit my cereal out of my mouth 💀
who tf brings sports cards to Gamestop??
They can call you anything they want You got the card lmfao
“They thought I was stupid, now they call me wise and eccentric”.
I probably stuck about 90 sports cards of my brothers in the spokes of my bike back in the mid 60s.
Lol could of been rich 🤑 maybe
Valuable to all 14 collectors who could actually afford it.
I was just thinking, at the start of the video, that card wasn't anywhere near $12mm when i was collecting. Glad i stayed to the end of the video to have my memory proven right 👍
This makes that movie “cop out” way more relatable now 😂😂😂😂
Only worth what a person is willing to pay for it.
The guy in la said his mansion was worth a bill it went for like a quarter that bro. He filed for bankrupcy and not the good kind of bankrupcy that lets you reorganize amd refinance your debts etc.
So is money 🤣
Exactly what I say
Who seriously offered him $12 million ?
Many super rich had made an offer of 25 million for that card and he didnt want to sell it
People saying he's crazy , yet everyone working for a piece of paper called money
Not a good example
My money don’t jiggle jiggle
@@dominikborno4133how's that not a good example. You place a value on paper money and he places a value on a printed paper. What's the difference?
@@derekhoover5304
1. Economy.
2. It's old paper.
YOOOO got emmm
Pawn star seeing this thinking,hmm,I'll give u $500 for it 😂😂😂
Let me have a professional look at it
They used to call me Crazy Joe, now they call me Batman ! 😂
Somebody's grandkid is throwing that out of the trash.
Cuz it is trash basically
@@dereksim1696 I’m surprised you know how to use the internet
@@flyingchimp12 bahahaha
I wonder how many were thrown away
Ppl In comments still thinks he’s nuts. Bro is up 12 million on his 100k 🤷♂️
And who gonna pay it?
@@CBrasil1966 well Logan Paul paid over 3 million for one single card and I think he destroyed it for fun (I could be wrong)
So I think there are a handful of people really to pay 12 million.
Look at drake who’s been gambling millions at a time showing up all over CZcams.
Rich ppl will spend a lot of money on dumb stuff
If he sold it. When do you think that'll happing?
They are the haters
@@IanSizzler ong they don’t know nothing of value
1996: You spent out savings on what!?
2024: This is the best decision you've made!
Good for him. I was a big card collector when I was a teenager. I lost my virginity at 16 and I instantly lost interest in cars collecting cards.
1952 tops number 311. I’ll never forget looking at that card marked as just a Kid In the late 80s in a Beckett mag and seeing it worth like 40k back then.
My memories exactly!
I got a reprint replica copy of thay baseball card from a show in the early 90s. It costs a couple bucks
I remember doing just that… doing the math and day dreaming about getting one. That was a daily thing, look at baseball cards or look at someone else’s collection
I used to go through beckett when I was a kid trying to find the most expensive card it was this and Gordy howe rookie card 😅😅😅
We all share the same child hood memory pretty much. I’m sure there was a bunch of us. Yes Almsot every time I got a new one I would still look for the most expensive cards and it was always this card for sure
$50, best i can do - Rick Harrison
Chumlee will give you 51
You think Rick Harrison is a good negotiator, he is a bad one, on many occasions he overpaid
@@edwardkreitem9946 win some lose some
I thought the babe Ruth rookie card was considered the most rare/greatest card of all time.
This is one is rare because of production numbers and other variables. Great history behind it
Would have guessed the most valuable would be Honus Wagner
I had that card and the moving company we hired to move us stole it. They had time to go through and pull the plastic pages out also. Jurassic park cards. Just mad that happened.
In the late 50's/early 60's I used to throw away fistfuls of baseball cards I'd won just to see other kids scrambling around to pick them up. Who knew.
Thanks to kids like you the remaining cards have value.
Shit we were still doing that in the 90s lol. Cards will go back to beanie baby status soon enough. Unless you have something from way back then all the these people buying new cards are dumb just like every decade. They turn out to be pffft in long run on those.
It’s not just owning them tho they have to be kept in pristine condition to have value. My buddy had a collection of Pokémon cards but he didn’t keep them sealed or anything and some rare cards lost ALOT of value because he would just keep them in stacks in a shoe box, nothing sealed.
I threw away an entire binder when I was like 13-14 didn’t want them….there was probably 5 thousand cards in it
@@koDaffiyoutruly have no idea what yourw talking about..
Damn I just gave cards like these to them little kids down the street
😂😂😭😭
they were on my bicycle back in the day on the spokes
Made in China... Rick Harrison: The best I can do is $20 and I'll be taking a risk😂😂😂
This guy would be on Forbes list if he bought $121k of Amazon stock in 1996.
As someone who has been in the hobby for close to a decade, there are some brutal takes in the comment section. I assure you that there would be a line of wealthy individuals lining up to pay at least $20M-$25M for this card if offered.
And all of them are stupid to pay that for something that they will never get any use out of it and scared to touch it and won't let anyone else touch it or scared to let anyone look at it! That's what I just don't get I understand the passion just not the price!
@@joeysweet9045that's the point, the card has been so meticulously well kept that the passion is also reflected in the price.
@@joeysweet9045 these buyers are insanely rich. It makes sense for them because spending $25M is probably comparable to a more normal person spending a few hundred or a few thousand dollars, depending on how well off they are. Lot of people have hobbies that they spend that much on
@joeyvalenti2287 not really I mean what do you get out of besides bragging rights I mean if you don't sale it when the price goes up then you die what good is it? None at all it's not worth anything when you are dead I guess bragging rights are good enough for some people or leaving loved ones something to make bank on when you die is good but I came in the world broke and naked and I'm going out that way broke and naked life insurance is all I'll leave enough to cook me then flush me! Just stating my opinion
@@joeysweet9045 wouldn’t do anything for me a shitty card.. sad people would pay £10 for a shitty card
Fun fact, after inflation, it’s still worth $120,000
232.000 today
20 mil +
Bruh, 1996 is'nt even 30 years ago, how bad do you really think inflation is?
No... it's not. Fail
@@mikkelmosegaard9271well, a dozen eggs were 79 cents in 1996, now they are $5-7. Sooooo about that much. A lot over just the past 2 years alone with ole pedo Joe in power
Such a beautiful card
I thought he was pulling out a bible verse the way they showed it and talked about it! 😂❤❤
😂😂Its gunna be at a garage sale after this man passes
I'd sell it in a heartbeat after that much increase in value!
At that point it’s worth more to him then the 12 M. Unfortunately not for his kids and grandkids ☹️
I had one when I was in second grade. All of that stuff from back then is worth a fortune.
Gotta wonder how many baseball cards , not just Mantles , got blown up in the spokes of a kids bike!!!
Something is only as valuable as the amount someone else wants to pay for it.
Thx
I had 3 of these when I was a kid. I clipped them to my bike to make it sound like a motorcycle
Definition of a "HOLY GRAIL". Beautiful!
We value certain things outrageously....like it's a baseball card. We're a weird species
Do you also think paintings and gems are outrageous? It’s in the same category
@@flyingchimp12 i do and music, movies for that matter..way to overpaid
You are not very intelligent it seems we assign worth to things based on how rare they are and someone would buy this because they hope that worth will increase over time sort of like a investment.
@@Jamer6765 no understand that things can be rare....but I guess I really don't care.
my exact same reaction, we're such weird species for sht like this lol (no hate on the hobby)
Beautiful card! But I thought the honus Wagner was the most valuable??
you are correct in assuming the wagner would be more valuable. if there was a gem mint 10 Wagner, it would easily surpass the mantle. sooooo...... let's see it!!!!
Honus Wagner has less cards made so it is more rare it sold for 6 million recently.
Mantle cards are the most popular card on Market any Mantle card
when i think baseball card thats the image that comes into my head and really had no idea who or why it was.
121k in 1996. Now it is 12M. The value increased 120X in 26 years.
I'd give my left arm to draw glasses and a moustache on that..
Auction Kings: " I can do 12$"
Ty Cobb left the chat
It’s very possible that my dad or one of my uncles had one of these as kids in nyc. Imagine if grandma kept those cards.
I know my uncle has one but the condition Isn't like that what a beautiful card❤
Are you sure it’s the same one? Even in a rough condition it’s worth tens of thousands.
He's still sitting on a gold mine. The grades for all sports cards goes from 1to10 ten being the best like this card. A collector sold one recently for 15 grand and it graded a 2.
He is ready to check out. Cash it out and go out with a bang.
No reason to..he is old. Going to parish soon so theres no reason for the money unless your younger. Just invest to passit on. 😂
I would love to have this. I would never sell it and just keep it in the family. Because it will just keep going up in value over time.
Its hard to put my head around the way baseball cards have become such prize possessions.
Sell it and live your life grandpa, you never know how many good years you have left.
Ppppssshhhh that old Gramps HAS 💴 💴 💴
He don’t need the cash! 👎
I think he’s doing fine lol
He has 100k for a card decades ago, i pretty sure he's rich and living his life even before buying that
No shit I wouldn't want to leave a dam dime behind for someone else to have fun with or well just enough $ to burn me to a crisp then flush me down the toilet! I came in the world broke and naked and I'm leaving it broke and naked!! Lmfao 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
“They thought I was stupid - now they call me wise and eccentric” what a god damn G
I don’t think any one has ever called him wise or eccentric
@@palmerconnelly it’s the fact he said it at like 80 years ild
Beautiful card as well
121,000 usd in 1996 money is 231,500 usd in 2023 money, still a sweet profit.
At least this was an actual person.. when have yall seen a charzard 😂
Thats a PSA oldie for sure! Look at that label
I know right, I love how the name is wrote and the throwback Yankee logo
I currently own 13 of these cards.
Im absolutely POSITIVE that I had that card as a child. Hahaha who knew!
I put one of those in my bicycle spokes in the early 80s....damn it!
One of a kind.. Man if I had billions I would buy that in a heartbeat.
Yeah same just to burn the stupid thing
I had one before - made my bicycle sound like it had a motor
I kept a star wars figurine in its box from when i was 10. 37 years later it's almost worth as much as mum paid for it in 1987
30 years from now 12 Million will seem like the deal of the century.
Idk about that terminology but it definitely has the opportunity to reach the prices of paintings.
Dudes about to die and has a baseball card. Well done guy.
LMAO
He has a huge fortune to leave for his loved ones, what about you?
Someone’s jealous
Could have cashed it in time to enjoy his investment. He is still stupid.
"Now they call me wisely eccentric"... I call him sports card big baller.
When life is so mundane and boring, you fantasise over "perfect corners" on a piece of paper.
I would gladly pay 12 million just to look at that piece of history.
History .. a guy who played baseball on a fuxking card.. I’d buy it just to burn then thing for all the virgins to lose there shot over … SAD how people get off on the most stupid things in the world … sad sad
“When I was a kid, I traded my father’s Mickey Mantle rookie card for a candy bar. You know what that card is worth today? My relationship with my father.”
Anthony Jesslenik
that number of price so huge than any seconds in man life
Imagine a billionaire buying it, then ripping it up! Smh
Stupid mind = stupid people
"Did he just "Banksy" that card?!" :D
He still struck out three times the one day I went to my only Yankee game. As an 8 year old, I was so disappointed. Later I learned my baseball hero was a drunk.
Should have seen more games… Even Babe Ruth struck out and drank too… Mantle was a generational talent and arguably best player of the 50s, early 60s…
Should be in a museum
The Honus Wagner centered mint rookie card is worth way more today.
Over a piece of fucking paper…
I bet these are the same people that complain about kids having phones.
There are things and then there are rare things. When things are rare they are worth more. People collect things they value, so the rarer the item the more people will value it. Over time, the rarity increases so the worth usually increases. When you purchase or obtain these rare things it is an investment. In this case, the item is a 1952 rookie Mickey Mantle card. These cards are graded by what the condition of the card is, 1-10 with 10 being the highest possible grade. This card is a 10, it is 73 years old, there are no other cards in existence in this condition. This is an extremely rare item to the right collector. He turned 121 thousand dollars into 12 million in 26 years. That’s an incredible investment for just a piece of paper. People love baseball, baseball cards are a huge part of the baseball fandom. People collect all sorts of things that they buy, sell, and trade them which in turn makes them happy. Let them be happy
A paper worth more than your whole family lmao stop hating and quit being poor
Did you know that the Mona Lisa is also just a piece of paper… that hundred dollar bill that you may or may not have is also just a piece of paper
@@SRM110 a shitty card is not rare … I can photocopy that stupid thing and it will look and do exactly the same as that shitty card … nothing!! Rare 😂😂 get a family wife kids or soemthing
The man is close to his grave, and still holding on to the 121k card, with inflation even less, it will only be 12 mill if someone pays for that.
sold last year for 12.6 mil
The man ur talking about has 121k to burn in 1996 for a card, im pretty sure money is not that important for him for decades now
Surely not more then 12 clowns on this planet who be interested in a bloody card
I had old mantle cards and the original spiderman comic gone. You live and you learn
Imagine spending that much money only to see its value skyrocket right before you die.
He'd be upset if he came out and saw me picking my teeth with it, wouldn't he?
F with em, hide it and say you traded it for a Pikachu card 😂
'They called me stupid, now they me Shit for brains' 😂
In the early 90s or late 80s, I believe that card was like six grand at one point. But it was still the dream. If you knew how many kids put those baseball cards on the spokes of their bike you would throw up.
I dreamt of having that card my entire life as a child. And I was born decades after he retired.
