A Michigan dealer says he just brokered a deal that ended with the highest price ever paid for a PSA 7 graded 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle.
Kirk Wagonlander told The Ticker that the card changed hands between two “known figures in the hobby” at a price of $55,000. That’s $12,000 more than the card was sold for two years ago according to the Traverse City dealer.
Most PSA 7 Mantle cards sell at auction in the $30-40,000 range but this one offers centering and eye appeal that would appeal to collectors.
