1952 & 1954 Baseball Cards | Green Bay, Hour 3 | Preview 

You have to remember. The fact that many people didn't keep them is what makes them so valuable.

That 52 tops set is just the most beautiful set ever!!

Rick: Best I can do is $250, I'm taking a gamble here".

Lowball figures, psa 5+ mantle easy sale at 60k-70k

That mantle is the holy grail of cards. Well over $30g 's

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.

Love these kinda baseball card stories. Wonder what else was in his collection?

Baseball cards are my favorite. Awesome upload thanks Antiques Roadshow!

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

She needs to get them graded.

Those cards are through the roof now

Hes lowballing that Jackie Robinson...

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.

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!!!👍💕🔥⚾💯

love the roa show thank you

1952 Topps Mickey Mantle is legendary.

cool. always neat seeing these fresh to the market not yet graded

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

Low balled all of them. That Mantle would easily go closer to 50k+ (see completed sales on eBay)

Card collecting is coming around again 👍🏼

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.

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!

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.

That Mickey Mantle card is worth a LOT of money and it looks like it's in really good condition.

Dang, and the Jackie Robinsonnis clean and has great centering

I’d buy that Mantle card for twice what he appraised it. He’s WAY off. That’s one of the holy grails.

Glad you saved them!!

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

lady in the back with the purse is like you better watch your back!! 🤣🤣

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

I feel sophisticated watching this

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...

Psa 6 mantle going for easy $100k

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.

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"

52 mantle is the cream of the crop of sports cards

I love the stink eye people waiting in the background have sometimes. Great collection btw good for her and her family.

Beautiful

Even “experts” mistakingly call that Mantle’s rookie card.

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. 👍🏼

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.

that mantle looked to be higher than 5. the robinson card for sure is higher.

He’s going to be thinking about the day he set his coke can down on the Mickey Mantle card and lost $50,000

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.

It’s worth way more than that!

he played that wonderfully. he really surprised her with the last one.

1952 Topps PSA 6 Mantle is selling for $92k on eBay as we speak it’s May 28th 2020.

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

Dude if that Mantle card hit an auction it would fly for over $200k.

Wild to think that only 6 years later that Mantle is now worth $130k+.

Not to nitpick, but he didn't even mention the centering issue on the Mantle.

My friend brandon had that same mantle card in grammer school in the 80s.

All worth so much more now

Wow I hope she kept these

If she sold right after this show, at those estimates, she is experiencing MASSIVE seller's remorse right now.

There worth over a million now

It was no accident that she got the cards out of the attic before the storm!😮

The Mantle one is way low. It's easily worth double.

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.

The people that know least about them cards has always nice value cards

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

I hate it when they call the 1952 Mantle a rookie card. It's not.

My goodwill find dream are these cards

The 52 Jackie today is worth about $30,000 as a PSA 6

That Mantle Rookie though!

If only mom’s understood what “collectible” meant

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.)

This is the best.

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.

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.

They were all at least a grade eight just for the color in the crispness of the cards 7 min

Wow!

Ya these cards looked pretty dang clean even with the blemishes def get a second opinion.

She needs to get those graded by PSA for them to be worth anything.

My dad had a great vintage card collection, sadly don't know what happened to them.

That Mickey Mantle with the recent bill run in card collecting is worth a couple hundred thousand now

Crazy

Mantle card is off center. Most likely a PSA 6 or 7 due to its condition.

I need to find some unopened packs for a fresh Mickey Mantle 😍

My mind is blown thinking about the Carnage that tornado did to all those other cards that got lost, damaged.

That Mantle is well over 40K now

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.

Tha Robinson is a solid 5k

My friend took some stuff to get appraised, he said it was basically an expo to sell old people insurance lol

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 Mick is wayyyyyy higher now.

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.

Thats not Mantle's rookie. The 1951 bowman is. How could they mess that up?

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

A PSA 5 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, is easily a 6 figure card. Between $120,000 - 170,000.

wow! wow!!

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.

03:05 that look that she’s giving him

A near perfect 52’ mantle just auctioned for 12.5 million.

The two most recent 4s on ebay sold for around $150k, and $100k. Wow!

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!

In 1975 you could have bought a near mint mint 8 1952 Mantle for $500 dollars they are worth now $250,000 dollars and going up.
