How much should you have saved to purchase a '52 Mantle? Paging experts!

Yeah, empty packs & boxes of vintage cards can be worth a small fortune in good condition, but honestly, I really do not see the correlation between wrappers/boxes that are colorful and reflective of the time/era via graphic design, and a old brown cardboard case albeit a 1952 Topps case. I just can not for the life of me see that selling over $1,000, end even then you are going to have to find someone really wealthy and partially dumb.

I would take it a step further and physically WATCH them handle the card as they grade it.

Id have to as well

Is there even any unopened boxes out there anymore?

Highly doubt it.

Clearly there are packs but odds are no Mantle. People wouldn't be that dumb.
