Just over a week ago, a T206 Honus Wagner card was sold for 7.2 million dollars, becoming the most valuable baseball card of all-time. Look out, Honus - another card is set to reign as baseball card King. Make room for a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card!
Earlier this month we told you about a T206 Honus Wagner card setting an all-time record in a 7.2 million-dollar sale. The price tag was 1 million dollars MORE than the old record. In just two weeks from today that short-lived record is poised to fall again.
1952 TOPPS MICKEY MANTLE ROOKIE - 10 MILLION?
This incredible 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card was on display at The National. We were able to see this card up close and personal and shared that story with you. Graded a 9.5 (out of 10) by SGC, this Mantle rookie card is being offered by Heritage Auctions. As one of the highest-graded copies known to exist, we knew the value would certainly be within reach of the all-time record. Just HOW much will the Mantle break the record by?
With TWO WEEKS left to bid at Heritage Auctions, the price is already at 6.4 MILLION dollars.
You can see the auction HERE.
The estimated value is 10 million dollars. Given there are two weeks left to bid, we're bound to see the record fall, and fall by millions.
What do YOU think the final price will be? We will make sure to update you on the final sale price right here on the Just Collect blog.
If you have a Mickey Mantle rookie card that you're interested in selling, we are always interested in purchasing your collection. We have purchased many Mickey Mantle rookie cards including The Black Box Collection and Grandpa's Shoe box Collection.

We offer many ways to evaluate your cards other than using our website, too.
If you can make the trip here like the son from my hometown did for this collection- we can make a deal at the office. We once met a father-son duo that drove eight hours from Virginia to meet us to sell a Michael Jordan rookie card stored in Tupperware since 1986 - great read here.
We keep a LIST of the card shows we'll be attending. Come stop by the Just Collect table and chat.
If you have a valuable collection and want us to come to you, we'll hop on the next plane out. We recently took a trip to California to purchase a collection that included three Jackie Robinson 1948 Leaf rookie cards that you can read about here.
We have another location in New York you can meet us at; read all the information here.
If you choose to mail your cards for an appraisal, we will evaluate your cards for FREE still. If you choose not to sell the cards, we'll ship them back with shipping fees paid by us! We can offer our FedEx account with 2-day shipping, fully insured, all covered by us. Simply contact the office to set up this option.
OUR BUYING PHILOSOPHY
We've run into a wide range of people and collections over the last 25 years. Although Just Collect is known for buying vintage sports cards and especially vintage baseball cards, we are also extremely interested in buying non-sports cards, too!
Every collection and every collector is different and we treat EVERY collection with the respect and attention that we show for our own collections. We understand that many have put their heart and souls into building their collections. So when you're ready to sell, we understand the feelings that you're going through and will work with you to help you reach a decision that is a WIN/WIN, because if you're not happy, we're not happy.
