The latest SportsCardLink Auction is now underway, and the headliner card is a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle Rookie card in PSA 7 with a starting price of only $50,000. Just last week a Wall Street Journal article mentioned that this card has become “a better investment than gold, stocks and real estate!” The auction will close on Thursday, November 3, 2016, which in baseball terms is the day following the would-be seventh game of the World Series. If the series doesn't do it for you and you need some more baseball excitement, there's always this auction to get you going again. This auction is held in conjunction with this month's ComicLink auction, held by our brother company, which, over the last 20 years, has specialized in vintage, investment-quality comic books.
SportsCardLink auction highlights are the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle Rookie PSA 7 (the most in demand card in the hobby in beautiful shape, a "strong" 7); 1954 and 1966 Topps complete sets; collection of over 40 PSA graded Goudey cards including many hall of famers; 1929 New York Yankees team signed baseball including signatures of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Earle Combs, Leo Durocher, Tony Lazzeri, and Bill Dickey, plus other signed balls, including Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, and a 1968 Football from Super Bowl III with 68 signatures; a collection of close to 40 T206 cards including many hall of famers; a large collection of over 60 mid-grade T201 Double Folder and T202 Triple Folders; and lots of graded 1950s and 1960s hall of famers.
SportsCardLink and our brother company ComicLink are both currently accepting consignments for the upcoming auctions including the SportsCardLink Winter Auction, and the ComicLink Fall Featured Auction (the ComicLink October Auction starts Saturday, October 15). Early auction placement means that you may both reserve your lots, and obtain the most generous consignment terms. To reserve upcoming auction placement, simply email buysell@sportscardlink.com with your prospective sale list, or call (617) 517-0072 to speak with John Melville, Josh Nathanson, or Douglas Gillock.
If you have ungraded cards or comic books that you'd like to get certified, they can help with that. Also remember, they are not only an auction house, they are also always accepting new sellers for the exchange marketplaces, brokering private placement deals, and buying outright. So, it pays to get in touch if you are selling or purchasing valuable items. They always look forward to hearing from collectors.
