Fogel Collection, Including PSA 10 Mantle, Set for Display

Items from one of the hobby’s greatest collections of baseball memorabilia and cards is going on display ahead of the 2021 MLB All-Star Game.

History Colorado and the Rockies Baseball Club are putting the items on display in an exhibit called Hall of Legends.  The exhibit will run from July 10-18 at the new Rally Hotel at McGregor Square, just across the street from Coors Field. 

It’ll be the second time in the last few years that collector Marshall Fogel has lent items from his collection for a local exhibit.  Among the items on display is one of the three PSA 10 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle cards, now likely worth more than $10 million. 

The last time Fogel’s card was on public display, it famously arrived by armored car.  It’s one of only three ’52 Mantle cards ever rated 10 by PSA.
