      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

    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..

    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.

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!

      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
