A veritable twin of our $12.6M record-breaker from the same famous "Rosen Find!"
Anybody with the will and the means to chase this spectacular piece of Americana will no doubt be aware that Heritage Auctions made global headlines a year ago when the SGC Mint+ 9.5 example of this card presented in our August 2022 Platinum Night auction became the most expensive article of sports memorabilia ever sold at $12.6 million. Its stunning state of preservation was the result of a once-in-a-lifetime "find" of 1952 Topps Series Three deadstock in the home of a former delivery driver, brought to market by Al Rosen, an early hobby icon best remembered by his self-affixed nickname, "Mr. Mint." This SGC Mint 9 specimen derives from that same legendary and virginal trove.
We'll make our bold claim here--this card compares favorably to any 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle that exists on the planet, inclusive of that world record SGC 9.5 and the three Gem Mint 10 specimens in the PSA population (the only four examples on the planet to have officially graded higher).
This statement will undoubtedly bring controversy, but it is our hope that our lengthy preamble on the topic will have served its intended purpose of explaining just how subjective such judgments become when comparing virtual perfection to virtual perfection. Run down a checklist of requirements for a top-rated card and every box is ticked: color, gloss, registration, corners, surfaces, centering. At this airless altitude a step from the peak of not just the global population of all 1952 Topps Mantle cards, but truly all post-war trading cards extant, the view is quite literally the best that money can buy. Graded SGC Mint 9.
