No Geoff, it's not SOME consider the 51 Bowman to be his true rookie. It IS his true rookie lol. I understand why the 52 is more iconic and more important. But it's not a debate on what's the rookie card. I do think the 51 is relatively undervalued. 51 is the smarter pickup
In addition, With Judge's success this year, the names Mantle and Maris are going to be all over the media in a month or two.
Shocked judges heritage rc hasn't moved much. 10 to 2p years from now many will look back at the price and regret not getting on once he's retired and in the hall of fame.
he's over pd and doesn't and shouldn't receive a big contract
@@rj-vj8gr You are on drugs.
@@Flashtone08 I have the base and auto in a PSA 10. They are way too cheap right now but if he can pass Maris, these cards will explode.
@@Flashtone08 that is assuming the market continues to increase over time. Who knows where it’ll be in 10 years
I am more impressed with your strong Wi-Fi connection inside the CC than anything, but nice pickups!
Haha that's true

When my dad was a kid and collected 50s Baseball, him and his friends at school would play a game where they throw the cards against a wall. When they fell on whatever your card landed on top of you got to keep. Including 52 Mickey Mantles. Of course completely ruining every card.
The thought of those cards being as valuable as they are today was the furthest thing from their mind... probably like landing on the moon.
Played that game in school lol with 1979 OPC hockey I'm sure we destroyed many Gretzky rookies lol
My older brother had an 86 Fleer Jordan that he thumb-tacked to his bedroom wall. We used to have a polaroid of it back in the late 80's. I have no idea what happened to that card.
Back then they also used to insert those old baseball cards in between bike spokes so that they they would make this rat-a-tat-tat sound whenever you rode your bike.
@@KMAN_CORNER my dad had a 79 Gretzky pinned in his locker, he threw it out when the oilers beat the islanders in the finals in 1984
Idk why but geoffs videos always gets me more excited about sports cards, I’ll be down after taking a loss on a card and Geoff uploads a banger that reaffirms my love for the hobby
If u need reaffirmation then your only in it for the money. U should love ur cards if they down or up in value.
@@tcgexchange5675 facts, this is such a stupid comment this is a hobby not an investment firm
@@tcgexchange5675 I’m not only in it for the money, every collector sells cards, you sound silly
@@Connor-wf2zn you’re literally saying that on a channel called “sports card investor” 💀
@@tcgexchange5675 also as you’re saying that I guarantee you use the word “comp” at card shows
Congratulations Geoff! That is a beautiful Mantle RC! Awesome
Geoff thanks for everything I live in nj but mist out on this years national but enjoyed whatching your team there, I’ve been her since two years ago and your the reason I’m in to sports cards you where my inspiration so thanks for everything.
Thank you!
Geoff made a smart move on the 51 bowman, it's criminally undervalue
Glad you got the 51 Mantle. That's my Fav one out of the group. Very nice card 👊
86 Freer Jordan. 2000 Contenders Brady. 79 Topps Gretzky and a 52 Topps Mantle probably my top 4 nice 51 Bowman pickup Thanks for the video
Overwhelmed with the card they had at the nationals, and I felt like I wanted to make a deal with all types of cards on the first day or two. No one wanted to sell at comp or even close to comp, so I waited til Sunday(even tho I took a chance of the cards being gone), I made 3 plays on Sunday, got a 86 Fleer MJ RC PSA 7.5, Bird/Magic Topps RC PSA 7(awesome eye appeal, no print dots), and Topps Gretzky PSA 6 RC.
Excellent move on the 1951 Bowman Mantle. The 1951 will definitely gain more value and has much more room for growth! As for the 1952 Topps, I doubt you'll find a nice one without a massive premium, due to most people factoring in the new anticipated price hike thanks to this new record being set. This 1952 Topps Mantle card is about to reach new heights, and I think all his cards will follow.
Loved every video you did from the National. I vicariously was there thanks to this awesome channel!
Glad you enjoyed!
Way to make it happen Geoff l enjoyed every bit of the negotiations and purchase!
Spending our market movers 💰 !
Lol, maybe :)
CONGRATS ON THE 51 MANTLE I LIKE THE CARD WAY MORE THAN THE 52 AND THAT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE AND MAY BE UNDERGRADED
That first one was the best eye appeal by far
Ya that 51 stands out above all! The texture and colors just give it a pop! Hopefully it rises in price in stride with the 52! We will see
Great '51 Mantle. The colors were bright!
Great video Geoff love the content and the speed your team pumps these videos out makes me feel like I’m there
Thanks! We have an editor stay up all night so we can get videos out each morning. Glad you appreciate the speed!

The true Mantle rookie card , the 51 Bowman. I would rather have that beauty. Congratulations and good choice.
he did good, that 51 bowman looks better (clean) than 52 topps he looked at.
That 51 Bowman is such a beautiful card! It doesn't top the '52, but man, for a guy who's numbers are dwarfed by so many other players, it's crazy that Mick's cards are at the top of the market, and probably will remain there
I enjoyed walking through this search with you.
Geoff you're a frickin' beauty bud! Much luv from Canada!
i love how you just walk around and everyone knows you! youre a celeberity its awesome
Congrats on the 1951! I totally agree with you about 1952 Mantles going up after the 9.5 sets the record.
Thanks Jabs! I enjoy your channel!
Good job at the National. I enjoyed the videos
the 52 mantle isn’t iconic because it is or isn’t a true rookie card; it’s iconic because micky’s facial expression. it communicates something emotionally that other cards cannot convey. the nicest card to look at in the entire hobby.
I would argue the 53 is much nicer in eye appeal.
@@skimt127 beautiful card
It's iconic because of topps dumping a bunch in the water in New Jersey back in the day
The 52 mantle has been doubling in price ever year for the past few years. It will go up
glad for you Jeff, you are very honest family man !
Really enjoyed the vids from national. Thanks!
Truly lived up to the name Sports Card Investor at this National!
I’m hopeful that the 1952 bowman is the next card to hit big… still super undervalued considering these prices.
This is probably your best investment wise since you started your channel. That Gatorade Jordan set was a good pickup. Buy this stuff...not Herberts and Ja"s
“It’s like the Mona Lisa” It is nothing like the Mona Lisa lol
Really cool video. And I agree as somebody who doesn’t even pay attention to vintage, that is a really nice copy of a 51 Bowman Mantle. Nice job
51 Bowman Mantle is not an "off brand" or a regional release like other cards/Jordan Star cards for example. It is his true rookie and the 52 Topps was always labeled in Beckett and other guides as FTC (First Topps Card). Same with the 51 May's, as everyone knows that is his rookie. Both Mantle and May's have a 52 Bowman as well/2nd year card.
Before there was Topps, there was Bowman! If not for Bowman, Sy Berger would have never designed the 52 set to complete with Bowman. Thank you Bowman for modernizing baseball in 1948!!
@@ObsessedCollector Amen brother! Tell em
For all those interested, as of today bidding is at 6.4 million (7.8 million w/ buyers premium).
The true 51 Mantle RC is the one i would be buying. good job man. love your content
Thank you!
how about that 1952 Topps empty case that held all those cards!!!

Very exciting n intense video. I hadn't been to a card show in awhile but I was truly surprised of the amount of young people there.
Tons of kids! Awesome to see!
Congrats on that beautiful 51 Mantle
I think 42k is so cheap for that card great buy
I started buying mostly vintage about a year ago. Just got burned on prospecting. Not one single prospect ever lived up to the hype. So I only buy Ohtani for modern. Cards still way undervalued. Mac Jones ,mbappe, and ja are the only other non baseball I'm buying. Have a few Trevor lawrences but still has a lot to prove.
I always find it funny how mantle 52 Topps is rookie where 51 bowman is his true rookie and not the same with willie mays 51 bowman and 52 Topps as both have cards in both sets
Nothing shits me more than people factoring in a premium on top of a card before the better valuve card of that particular card sells
I don’t understand the debate the 51 Bowman pre-dates the 52 Topps therefore being Mantles true Rookie card the only factor making the 52 Topps so prominent is the extreme rarity of the card. Mickey Mantles rookie is the 1951 Bowman. Congratulations Geoff amazing acquisition.
should i hold on to my jeter sp foil ?
Wouldn't a high tide raise all of the boats? The only Mantles I am missing are 54 Down, so here's to hoping they all go up. Will say the dream of ever getting a 52 probably died this weekend. Can't believe I could have had one in 1987 for $8K.
@@BringingTheHeat-VBC wow that's a fascinating story. Those were crazy times collecting back in the 70s. Mail order catalogs etc. 50 years later look where we are....
key play is buy the 9.5
'51 Bowman IS Mantles rookie card. The 1952 Topps is just his first Topps card...the first Topps set.
Thank you. Drives me crazy all of these articles saying the '52 is a RC... no, lol. Nice name btw FJB. 👍
That ‘51 Mantle fire! 🔥 I believe it’ll rise in value and benefit from the knock in effect of the ‘52 Mantle sale.
EDIT: Also, good to hear your voice break, Geoff! 😄😉
That 51 is fricking gorgeous
So different seeing you into vintage lately everything you’ve done the last two years.
Yeah. Maybe I’ve matured 🤷🏻♂️ lol
Plot twist, he pays 12 Million dollars for the 9.5 SGC Mantle
I have a perfectly centered 52 Mantle PSA 6 and PSA 7. I wish I could show you pics. If you buy either I'll throw in a PSA 10 Kobe Topps RC that someone told me to buy at $5K
Yeahhhhhhh… not my best call on that Kobe! Congrats on your Mantles though!
I knew I should’ve picked up at least a ‘52 Topps Mantle or two like 12 years earlier when I originally thought about it. Back then, ones in fair to good condition were a lot more attainable than they are today.
Same here. Sucks.
Sweet 51 Bowman Mantle!!
Imo the 9.5 may not increase the value of all the 52 mantles because everyone is in the same mindset. You’re going to see a lot of the 52s got to auction after that massive 9.5 sale. Which may actually drive down the price of the lower graded ones. Food for thought.
I think there’s way more demand than their is supply. I have a trimmed Mantle. I won’t sell, but it gets so much attention because it’s one of the most affordable copies you’ll find . Every time one of these goes up for sale I get random people that know I have it messaging me about mine
Great 51. Smart move. Those dealers all want the future price for the 52. From their point of view can't blame them. But from buyers point of view it's pretty risky with Brandon still in office
Tyson Fury Rookie Boxing Cards are the cards to buy and hold on to. There are more Michael Jordan Rookie cards and Wayne Gretzky Rookie cards then there are Tyson Fury Rookie cards.
Tyson Fury cards are very Limited and only a small amount were made. As long as he stays Undefeated, his cards will continue to rise even Higher!! Very Low Print run, and Tyson Fury is Undefeated which makes his cards go Super High in Price $$$$

Congrats to the gentleman who may or may not have acquired the assortment of psa 8 star mj's. Reminds me of when I took a chance on about 12 star mj's off eBay a few days before a card show (a few had his bday printed as "03 instead of "February" but never did the complete work to have them graded/authenticated by professionals or at least be patient with them. The guy just seemed like he knew where he knew what he wanted might magically turn up and i was way too quick to be so unwary. To Wallace, the man I sold them to and I had a verbal agreement that the cards were understandably what I had no idea they were authentic and gradeable. I believe there was a 2nd year star Dominique involved in the deal with the gentleman as well. Once again best of luck to all
Btw all you guys at the card show, I realize how universally unfair, annoying, or whatever else you want to call it is that you all have to know so much of my private business but please at least show your fellow show patrons respect no matter how much the adrenaline kicks in or how bad a break you may end up getting in a deal. Etc....lots of hateful spatterings of comments in the Jordan video. I don't know if they're paid off or it's blatant disrespect but it is a shame.
LOVE YOU GEOFF
Watching Geofff buy cards makes me realize how poor I am. 😂
Let’s see what Reeves picked up!
Wow, congratulations Jeff, u made the right choice 👏 beautiful 👋
Rest in peace bill Russell best basketball player there was 11 championship rings
Nice pickup Geoff
That was pretty awesome! Congrats on your bowman purchase.
Thanks!
Geoff quick question, when you do a big deal like this one, is there anyway to record it in market movers? Just thinking with all the alternative selling markets popping up and huge cards shows, was wondering if there was a way to track or add sales like this to market movers. Great content this week, loved every minute of it!!
I agree with the "wish" to include other sales platforms, but hard to imagine how that could be possible. Some view the current ways of comping through Ebay, Alt etc to be an advantage when buying "unrecorded" transactions because they can flip immediately since their own comp won't show up.
We don’t currently offer that but I appreciate the idea
Great ambassador to the hobby!
i'm a rookie collector. i have the topps traded 1986 bonds in a psa 10. i don't even consider his 1987 topps his rookie. thats his 2nd year. i don't care if its his MAIN topps brand rookie. its whatever card comes out first and has their official rookie. the 1952 mantle is his 2nd year. not a rookie. his 1951 bowman IS HIS ROOKIE. give me that card all day every day. the price makes more sense as well
wow nice... that looks way better than a 5
Sold $800 worth this weekend on eBay. Only $100,000 to go to get one of those mantles
Great video. Keep doing what you are doing.
Very nice pick up! Congrats!
My worst trades are when I’m hungover…I like the 51 Mantle personally, but I think it’s at the peak.
Cash is king in sports cards, I’m waiting for the 50% haircut on all cards; vintage included
I agree most will come down a lot.
Vintage won't crash. At least 85% of it is available and known. Very little left to come out of the woodwork. Ultra modern is a joke. Over printed, every damn card is a PSA 9 or 10. Junk that deserves to crash. Make mine vintage all day long!!!
That 51 is nice
great pickup jeff
Should of offered 100k on that psa5 mantle
He only asked 125
The most iconic card in the hobby in my opinion is the Johnny hecker 2020 score base card
For sure! 😂
“It’s all good…it’s *ALL* good” Geoff channeling Joe LoTruglio’s character in I Love You, Man right there, haha.
Did you ever get the '52???
How much would a Mickey Mantle Rookie Card Raw go for?
Beautiful 51' Bowman
The 52 topps is nice but to me, the 51 isn't as "common" as the 52 topps.
Id rather have the 51 as well, its his true rookie.
Congratulations, nice card!!
Thanks!!
I sold my jordan 2nd year stat so called Rookie for $5 in 1989. Wish i had it now. I still dont believe its his Rc
The star card would be
Really nice 51
You are my hero. I want to be like you some day
Aww thanks!
Love the videos
Love your videos I like Killebrew over the Mick
Great Video:)
The Mantle will sell for $14M
If an 84 star Jordan was printed in 1986 is it still his true rookie?
Congratulations on the "true" Mantle RC Geoff. For a 5? Looks great IMO. My take on the 52T Mantle? The sale of the 9.5 is over hyping it and right now? That's a card I feel more like if ya "missed the boat?" Ya missed the boat. Wait down the road. The 52T may come a little more down to earth. It's one I wished I had picked up in the early 90s. BTW. I was sure you would have more floor show coverage and interviews with some of the little and big dealers. Or is that for the "B" block? 😎
Hey Geoff, how did you get to the point where you are buying $200,000 cards? Is this your personal money or did you get to this point all through collecting?
Some of both, but mainly my business ventures. Follow @itsgeoffwilson on Instagram as I cover the business side of what I do more there.
