1952 Topps Mantle Smashes $100K Barrier In Memory Lane Auction

Memory Lane’s spring catalog auction closed with the first known $100,000 sale of a PSA 8 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle. In the 1950s, kids who collected their baseball cards spent hours on the topic of who was better.  Mickey Mantle or Willie Mays?  A 1952 Topps Mantle squared off against a 1951 Bowman Mays rookie in the Spring Fever Rarities auction held by Memory Lane Inc. Mantle won this round with a PSA 8 (near mint-mint) card establishing a new record for the grade. The final bid was $96,000. With the buyer’s premium added, the new owner will fork over $112,800. The card generated 59 bids in the auction, which closed in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Memory Lane sold a PSA 9 ‘52 Mantle for $282,587 last year.

He spent 35 years as a dentist, but Carvel Lincoln was a fireballing 16 year-old pitcher in August of 1947. His improbably loaded American Legion baseball team from Idaho featured two future Major Leaguers, and as they made their way through the sectional tournament, the boys from Boise would cross paths with the most famous ballplayer of all time. Sixty-one years later, the souvenir an ailing Babe Ruth handed out that day is about to become one of the premier items in Memory Lane`s May 17 Spring Fever Rarities sports memorabilia auction.
