1958 Topps Mantle #150 PSA 9 Reportedly Sells for $189,100
Five vintage baseball cards reportedly set all-time sales records on October 23rd, led by a 1958 Topps Mickey Mantle #150 PSA 9 at $189,100 via Heritage Auction.
A 1958 Topps Mickey Mantle #150 graded PSA 9 reportedly sold for an all-time high of $189,100 on October 23rd via Heritage Auction, more than doubling its last public price. It headlined a day when five vintage baseball cards reportedly set records.
The Mantle is a PSA 9 from a population of 28, and no PSA 10 exists, so this is the ceiling for the card.
1958 Topps Mantle PSA 9: The Numbers
The card's previous public sale was on January 26, 2024, at $80,530. The new price is a $108,570 (134.81%) jump in just over 2.5 years.
The 1958 Topps set was the first to introduce the idea of a "subset," through its "All-Star" cards, and it is recognizable for its multi-colored backgrounds.
TCGKing's take: a card that cannot be graded any higher, selling for a bit more than twice its last price, is exactly the kind of result that gets noticed.
The Other October 23rd Records
Four more cards reportedly set all-time highs the same day:
- 1955 Topps Sandy Koufax #123, PSA 8.5 (POP 17): $170,800 via Heritage Auctions.
- 1948 Leaf Satchel Paige #8, SGC 3 (POP 9): $120,000 via a Fanatics Premier auction.
- 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #144, PSA 6 (POP 71): $112,850 via Heritage Auctions.
- 1949 Bowman Jackie Robinson #50, PSA 8 (POP 115): $85,400 via Heritage Auctions.
Satchel Paige 1948 Leaf #8: From $36,000 to $120,000
The Paige is the biggest percentage mover of the group. It last sold publicly on March 22, 2024, at $36,000, so the new price is an $84,000 (233.33%) increase in just over 2.5 years.
Only nine SGC 3 copies exist, and the card has recorded 11 public sales all time. It is considered Paige's rookie card; he debuted in the majors in 1948 at age 42, the oldest debut on record.
Babe Ruth 1933 Goudey #144: A Smaller Step Up
The Ruth last sold on June 19, 2026, at $96,000, so the new price is a $16,850 (17.55%) rise in just over four months. 80 PSA copies are graded higher.
Ruth appears four times in the 1933 Goudey set (#53, #144, #149, #181), and #144 was double-printed, with twice as many produced as other cards in the release.
Jackie Robinson 1949 Bowman #50: Up 125.81%
The Robinson last sold on December 19, 2025, at $37,820. The new price is a $47,580 (125.81%) increase in just under one year, and PSA has graded 20 copies higher.
Collectors view the 1949 Bowman as a co-rookie card alongside the 1948 Leaf, which was distributed in March 1949. Robinson won the National League MVP in 1949.
Vintage Records Beside Modern Headlines
