Okay now show us the behind-the-scenes footage of you trying to strike a deal with him to purchase the card.

The production in this video is outstanding! Great job guys!

Wonderful video about the most iconic card in the history of card collecting. There will never be another like the 52 Topps Mantle.

That Mantle Rookie is like the Hope Diamond of trading cards and especially sports cards. Thanks for showing us that gem and the interview was just as amazing, thanks Geoff.

Can we appreciate the time and effort Sports card investor puts in for us!

What an absolute Gem! I hope I can see it one day. My father's favorite players were Mantle, Ed Matthews and Duke Snider. I have a collection of Matthews and Snider going. I own a 55 Bowman Mantle in pristine condition. I own the entire set we put together when I was growing up. My father is gone, but my 55 Bowman Set is on display in my office. I look at it constantly and think about my pops and love it!

It’s so beautiful. Thank you to Mr.Fogel for allowing you to bring out this to show us. Amazing… even one grade A is just something.

what an amazing example. honestly this looks nicer than the SGC 9.5, “best known example”. the borders look more white / pack fresh to my eyes, better surface.

They should of told the story of that card. Who sold it to fogul? Where did that person get it? How did it survive so many years and be in perfect condition? What’s the story of the card? Could of made this video so much better! That card tells a story and all we know is he bought it for $125,000.

Mantle's rookie is 1951 Bowman not 1952 Topps

Great video thank you for sharing this with us. It’s incredible how far cards of come

Wow. Holy grail card. However I must wonder if there was ever a 84-85 Jordan Star Rc in PSA 10 if it would surpass this one

It's a 10 cause it's classic but looks off center(I know 99% all old cards are) but still if u grading my pannini silver rookie common... lol

WOW!!! truly flawless. Thanks so much for posting this. Amazing

The sgc 9.5 is a nicer card. Much better color.

What an incredible episode Geoff and team!

Who was the original owner of this card and how did they obtain it and grade it? I'd love to hear that story as well.

Congrats Mr Wilson on being able to see that amazing card. Great video

This video felt like a documentary, outstanding work

"They wrote that Marshall Fogel is stupid, [and] now they call me wisely eccentric". If this isn't a perfect example to say F U to people trying to tear you down for something you're passionate about, then idk what is.

Great monolog and video of one of the best.. Thanks for sharing

I’ve always wanted to own this card. One day I will own one.

Ive recently been cleaning out home/houses in urban areas. Havnt found anything good yet but already got a warehouse full of spare tools and work items since we can keep everything from every place we cleaned out. Take everything we want to keep then set up a small real estate sale AKA garage. sell everything for $1-10 make an extra $50-500 well cleaning out the house and take all the waste metal to the scrap yard appliances and get back $350 per 1ton.

Beautiful piece, belongs in a museum

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best of the Best and it has to be The Mick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless

I wonder how many mantle rookies were put in between spokes to make bicycles sound like dirt bikes lol

What an honor and privilege that must have been to actually be holding that card! I can't even imagine the feelings you must have had. Epic video!

What an awesome video!!!!! You did the perfect mantle justice!!!!!

That card is the greatest player of all time mickey mantle was a legend and the fact it is worth $50 million dollars it needs to be kept in a vault

The craziest part is all 3 of these highest grade mantels came from an attic in New Jersey in 85 a guy bought the 75 mantels for 125k along with Robinsons & Mayes

Any way we can purchase that stand up display that held the mantle? 😅 just to say you have the stand that owned the most expensive card in history is a part of history in itself. Would pass the stand down to my kids and tell them of the story 😅😍

Imagine all the Mantle rookies that were thrown out by moms back in the day.

So glad your face didn’t melt when you opened the box!

This so masterfully edited and shot!!!!

If you go the National or a big card show, this card is not THAT rare. The Honus Wagner T-206 is THE holy grail, NOT this card.

That card is special ❤

I had no idea there could different interpretations of “perfect centering”. That’s like different opinions on 2+2 equaling 4. How interesting.

We need to stop calling the 52 Topps his rookie, it’s not… That would be the 1951 Bowman.

Very classy video, so well done! Thank you Mr Fogel for sharing such a treasure, it was an honor.. Back in about '96 I traded a Cal Ripken rookie for a porcelain '52 Mantle

Fantastic to hear about the journey in owning this card and passion for the hobby. Great video. 👍

Wow vielen vielen Danke fürs teilhaben lassen

wow absolutely wild wished i had 121 thousand back in 96 i remember trying to find jordans in 1996 flair haha good buy for that guy

His rookie card is from 51. The most overhyped 2nd year card ever😂

It’s the Stradivari “ Messiah” violin of sport cards , incredible!

At 4:38, what's that black spot top ri GB HTC. Is that in the case?

It is so good that you might think it a fake if you didn't know better. Unbelievable card

Great video Geoff

Great content and impeccable editing in this episode!

This card isn’t even a rookie card. The best athletes/players in MLB history are probably playing right now. Bleacher Report did a top 25 players and he was in the teens.

Great video and an awesome experience. Thank you!

My biggest problem with this Mantle it's not perfectly centered

marshell is very very lucky to accumulate the collection he has.

This and the SGC 9.5 are the best looking 52 Mantle's imo. Both Type 1, I'm not sure which one is better. But either way, they are both basically perfect. The PSA 10 Diamondbacks version is inferior to both.

Ok imo this card would not grade a 10 if graded today. It’s just too off center for a 10.. the centering isn’t real bad… but it’s not psa 10 material. That said… i believe this card still presents better that the SGC 9.5 AND the Diamondbacks PSA 10. … this card is far more vivid and newer looking than those. The 9.5 has good centering but with very faded ( off white/ cream ) borders. The borders on the dianondback 10 are like… grey This card however looks like it was right out of a pack with beautiful brite white borders and vivid coloring

Great video, thank you

I could retire off owning that card.

Nice, I really enjoyed the video. But I have a question: last year Fogel mentioned in other videos that the card is worth 25M. Now one year later it doubled that price. How is that possible?

Love the intro.❤

Awesome that's a legendary card right there

Are the ones that Topps reprinted worth anything? Before those cards as you mentioned were dumped I acquired a few. Some are graded but that particular one is not. Since I haven't gotten a response I guess that's my answer to the question concerning the reprints. Thank you anyway.

Wow... Amazing... Thank you.

Wondering if the highest grade Honus Wagner might rival the potential price of this card?

I don’t trust any centered vintage card these days. Unfortunately I will always be suspicious it’s trimmed. Evan Mathis video confirmed my suspicions.

Bring the hype baby!!!!!!!!!!

Love the vids

I like that even in the 50s kids wanted newer cards - not those ‘old’ 52 cards. Too bad they didn’t have judgmental influencers back then to tell them how foolish they were.

That would sound amazing between the spokes on my bicycle!

i would have to have another opinions besides PSA that it's not trimmed before buying it. IF I had that kind of money lol

Can you imagine being smart or lucky enough to have that much money, but still dumb enough not to notice it's diagonal cut centering and that it is clearly not as clean as the SGC 9.5? Forget the fact that it appears to be in an obvious bubble... Insane price for a double printed second year card of the second best CF from NYC in the 51 rookie class.

THE VALUE, IN DOLLARS, OF THIS MICKEY MANTLE BASEBALL CARD IS ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE.

Amazing episode

Would rather buy 25 $1m houses and 10000 cars

3:39 - Photoshoppers! Get a Lonzo Ball card in that case immediately!

First I'll start by that is an Amazing Card however I've seen the two other 10's in person, I also saw the SGC 9.5 in person, I have not seen this card in person but I just got 1080 images of it which my eyes are no better then that. I hate to be Debbie Downer but this card has just as many if not more "slight imperfections" then the other two 10's I've seen and the SGC 9.5. The are ALL amazing cards and anyone who loves sports cards would dream of owning it. That being said, this is all marketing, no way you can say without a doubt this card is the "BEST" of the top 4 or 5 out there. Marshall has done a great job of getting this card out into the public and therefore it's the 'best known" 52 Mantle for sure. BTW, did anyone else notice what appeared to be a printing line running through lower portion of the bat, 4:12 from the bat up just missing his neck towards the outside of his ear? Maybe a scratch on the case? Hard to tell from a video but if it is a printing line, then for certain this is not the greatest example in the world. Wish they would have addressed that, I noticed 2 seconds after the card was on the screen? Cheers

I could swear I just seen this card sell in auction cheap too like 77$ not graded but in case

Buy it Geoff, Leave the ultra modern stuff alone, it's manufactured rarity .

it is such i nice card will it be at the next national in chicago

Epic you held it

Nice cards

Crazy to think about how many people had this card in their bike spikes in the 50s

How many cops with their guns out were behind the camera when you opened the holy grail of baseball cards

heath ledger jimmy rookie joker card autographed by the real jimmy letting collectors know to look forward to it as im comeing forward james Lyons....i didnt want to be knowm but comeing forward its legit boystown engadine me and micheal went to guys ....pyscho killer talking heads joker .... its priceless ...love jimmy fans ; )

Beautiful card ❤️

Gorgeous card

Thanks for sharing. Was this one of the Mickey Mantle's from the Al Rosen Mr Mint find?

It’s so old and never got hurt

That card should be bought by the baseball hall of fame and placed near his bust

The SGC 9.5 Rosen card is objectively superior

How did it get a PSA 10? It has a black dot in the right top corner

I got some baseball cards in the garage. Might go take a look. Might have seen this one.

It's ridiculous how perfect that card is. The first shot of the top left corner looks like a 2023 Topps card of how sharp it is, it's almost unbelievable that it's not a counterfeit! Speaking of which.... let me play Devils Advocate here.... ARE we sure it's real? Let me explain. The card was graded in the infancy days of Grading- you can easily tell by the PSA Label font/design that that is the first generation PSA label, used right at the very beginning of PSA.... at a time where the awareness of counterfeits and altered cards were widely overlooked while grading, and in the rare chance that the Grader had those thoughts, what would be the level of experience in counterfeits would that Gradaer have back in the first years of PSA? Soo.... again, playing devils advocate here, no one would ever take the chance of cracking that card out and checking for authenticity, as just the mere thought of attempting the case crack would be an enormous risk, which is the very reason why that card has not been put into the the newer PSA case with the anti-counterfeit protected labels. Cus any other card in the world would have been upgraded to the current case- but not this one. Hence, if it was a fake that snuck through quite easily in the early days of grading (its really not that far fetch of a possibility), then we will never know, unless it's cracked and looked at again today, and that will never happen cus no one would be willing to take that risk of handling that card today.... it just looks sooo perfect that it's almost fake looking.... and maybe it is? EDIT: While the above is just some fun musings, one can't forget that for decades, the famous most expensive card ie., the graded PSA Honus Wagner, which was also graded in the infancy of PSA, and which nearly identically mirrors the awe of this Mantle, was discovered to be altered in recent times... so....

Dam it looks like all the other mickey cards. 😂

How can this car be graded a psa 10 when the side to side centering is not perfectly even? Beautiful card but perfect I beg to differ.

I think I have a reprint of that card. It's worth about 5:19 .50 cents.

I don't put too much stock in Mike Baker stickers. His certificate claiming they carefully check these cards for this and that had a typo in the company name. Don't get me wrong, that's an AMAZING card but I can't take a Mike Baker opinion on a card seriously.

It's perfect, wow

Can anyone address the line mark in the card?

He looks like Judge in this card

Something don't smell right. How was the card stored for the borders to be so pristine and white? Its not natural. It was late 1970s before most collectors began focusing on preservation and condition of cards.
