Baseball card collecting makes a comeback

August 05, 2022

A rare 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle baseball card from the superstar’s rookie season is expected to sell for more than $10 million at auction later this month. It would be the top price ever paid for a card. 20 years ago, there were a lot of people who dreamed of getting rich from the cards they collected. The market was flooded with cards and card collecting as a hobby seemed to lose its popularity. But it has made a comeback. Tomorrow is Tops National Baseball Card Collectors Day. Chris Dreisbach, co-owner of Red Rose Cards.
