It's worth $10000 according to 1 person. One person does not set the absolute value of things. Besides, many places like this have arrangements with "experts" to lowball the value of items in exchange for a large cut in the profits.
Matthew Davis they have no reason to do that, because if they did and the seller just refused to sell, then nobody makes money. This guy just doesn’t know what he had
@@matthewdavis5486 all the "expert" is, is someone who follows the market of a particular niche and knows what others of the same item has sold for in recent past. Thats it. theyre not just coming up with their own random price or something. they also dont just head on over in 5 minutes. they have lots of time to do research on the item before they come in to film, for accurate history of the item, and value.
@@hooniesscc It had been trimmed. This was a major problem for PSA, them grading trimmed card. Frankly, with the trimming, this should only been worth it's value as a curio. Not a card.
People expect pawn shops to pay top dollar prices for COLLECTIBLE items, which is untenable. Too much market and economic fluctuation. Best bet for top dollar pay are precious metals--gold and silver 😉
@@BobCassidy no, the logic is "that is stupid." Obviously they pay. "I wish stupidity was painful" Your assumption and bias and prejudice that, that statement was my logic is flawed.
Too much value in how good the front looks to let it go for roughly 90% less than a gem mint 9-10 version of the same card. Most displays only show the front of a card anyways, I'd go so far as to say it's probably a "gem mint 9-10" of the 0 or less PSA graded examples for single sided display cards.
@jmarks881 That's just not true at all. There are collectors at every level and this card would showcase like a 30-40k card if professionally cleaned, had the back hidden from sight and mounted right.
@jmarks881I'd say 15-20k is a fair retail value though, the 10k is a low auction estimate. Might as well put it up on a site and pay the 5-10% commission on an item that will sell decently quickly.
I had to laugh at that. The appraiser just told him it's worth 10k best case scenario due to the poor condition hurting it so bad and he still tries to keep asking for thousands of dollars more than what it's worth at a pawnshop.
The 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle is the Extremely valuable one. Even in poor condition it’s worth around 20k. Excellent condition would go half a million possibly.
That's an autograph from Mickey's later years. He changed the way he signed his name throughout the years. It is his rookie card but he signed it in the 1980's.
doesnt matter mickey mantle rookies in that poor of condition nowadays start around 10k… his baseball card is the holy grail. With a high quality auto you could sell that same card now for $30-40k
@Robert Anthony if it is a topps mickey mantle rookie that got stepped on and wrinkled it will sell for a few thousand. The card market is absolutely insane right now im not going to argue. Ive seen low grade mantle rookies go for stupid prices, let alone a PSA 8 or above.
@ASMR ForDays lmao this is not worth anywhere near 15-20k....in near mint condition it is worth around 40k, this is miles away from that. 10k is if someone really wants it for now but looking to upgrade it in the future and when people do that they dont really want to pay near what its worth.. realistically its worth around $8-10k
Curious as to why so many comments say the card is ugly. I always liked the early Bowman sets. I mean, I know it's all personal preference. But come on, it's old world charm. 50's baseball culture is simply magical. And those cards are too. My old man sold his 51 Bowman cards to help pay for my college tuition. Really wish I had those instead. 😆
The 1951 Bowman cards look great, but this card is trashed. The front looks bad enough, but the back is extremely rough. It would still be cool to have it, but not for what that guy is asking for it.
The card probably originally cost a few pennies, he probably bought it for a few bucks. He’s being offered 7k that could at most go for 10k at an auction. I hope he lost this card on the way home.
@Eagle1 Most likely the case. If he tried to get it from me, I wouldn't take any less than between 6 and $6,500 for fast cash. Whoever he got from obviously didn't know what they had. I do. Been collecting many years
I met Mickey along with the whole 62 yankee team and they all signed a ball for me, i was 12 years old and we played for the city championship at Parker field in Richmond Virginia
Mr brown and I got along.... “Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence”
Im surprised there are people who would supposedly be willing to pay 10k for that crap card and that there is definitely a person not willing to take 7 grand for it.

That expert was full of it: PSA doesn’t slab tampered cards, at all. Even for the vague AUTHENTIC denominator. They just return the card with a sticker over the holder declaring the card as too small for certification. The AUTHENTIC cert was certainly ordered to avoid a low grade number, but that card is NOT below 1. Just look around for grade 1s PSA slabs, some of those cards are truly destroyed.
At the end of the day it's a signed mantle card and it is a rookie. A signed rookie is the crown jewel. Front looks great and back looks poor. He can easily find a buyer for 10k. At an auction it would probably go for more.
It's crazy fr this man's stuff is worth this much crazy story my great grandma and Micky grew up near each other on a now Indian reservation I'm actually a member of in Oklahoma I heard stories of them roller blading down the road all the time there. Pretty dope 👌
Guy gets a free appraisal. Finds out someone trimmed part of the card off, thus making it below a "poor" condition rating of a 1. Thankfully for him, finds out it's still worth right around $10K. Gets offered $7K. Instead of haggling a bit at $8K.... asks for several thousands of dollars more than what the card is worth! I am so fed up with these absolutely delusional sellers!
I think he got AL MVP’s confused with Triple crowns because he only had 1 TC but 3 MVP’s. And how did he play from 1951-1968 and was a 20x All Star? Wikipedia even says 20 and they only have 16 years listed.
