The Mick is still bringing it …
There’s no doubting the allure of the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card and the current bid total for the PSA 8 copy of the card above reinforces that.
How much is the card going for in the Memory Lane Inc. Winter Extravaganza Rarities Auction with more than two days left to bid?
A mere $66,000 after seven bids.
Now, sure, it’s not his Rookie Card (his 1951 Bowman card is — and its PSA 8 is at just $15,980 in the auction), but it’s the card that a generation (or two) of collectors aspire to own.
How much will it end at? We’ll find out on Saturday.
