1966 Topps Mickey Mantle SGC 3 Featured in Just Collect’s September 26 Prize Wheel

A 1966 Topps Mickey Mantle graded SGC 3 is the featured prize on Just Collect’s prize wheel for Saturday, September 26. The store says visitors can take one spin between 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM with a purchase of $100 or more. Every spin wins a prize, while supplies last.

For collectors, the card is the standout item in a wheel that had already included packs and hobby merchandise. Just Collect says its earlier jackpot bundle included a 2025-26 Topps Chrome basketball pack, two 2025-26 Topps basketball packs, a 2025 Topps Heritage baseball pack, holders, a binder, a Topps hat and other items. The store’s owner, Leighton, then asked for more prizes, prompting the addition of the Mantle card.

The Mantle card on the wheel

The featured card is from the 1966 Topps set and carries an SGC grade of 3. The source does not provide a card number, details about its centering or surface, or further notes about its condition, so those specifics aren’t available here. Collectors interested in the player can find Just Collect’s Mickey Mantle page.

Mantle’s record gives the card its particular draw for baseball collectors. Just Collect credits him with seven World Series titles with the New York Yankees, three Most Valuable Player awards and 536 career home runs, along with his place in the Hall of Fame. The store also connects the timing of its event with the approach of the baseball postseason.

The grade is a useful point of identification, but it doesn’t describe every feature of an individual card. The source gives no close-up images or grading notes for this copy, and makes no claims about its print variation or prior ownership. Anyone hoping to examine those details would need to see the card in person.

Event terms and other prizes

The entry terms are straightforward as described by Just Collect: spend at least $100 in the store to receive one spin per customer. The store advises arriving early for the best chance at the jackpot, but does not give a set number of spins or a count of the Mantle cards available. It says prizes are offered while supplies last.

The remaining spaces on the wheel include shirts, hats, packs, cards and other items. That makes the event a mix of the headline vintage card and smaller hobby prizes, with each spin resulting in a win. The source does not specify what each space contains or how many of each prize are available.

Buying, appraisals and collection visits

Just Collect also says it buys vintage sports and non-sports cards dating from 1879 to 2009, as well as selected modern cards. Collectors considering a sale can use the company’s contact page to discuss a collection or arrange an appraisal. The source describes appraisals as free and says collectors who mail cards for evaluation can have them returned at the company’s expense if they decide not to sell. It says insured two-day FedEx shipping is available through its account, arranged by contacting the office.

There are several other ways to meet or reach the company. Its travel schedule lists card shows where collectors can stop by the Just Collect table. The company says it can travel to collections and that its owner, Leighton, is available to meet collectors in a public place near New York City; details are on its New York City page.

The source describes 25 years of working with varied collections and says it considers both sports and non-sports cards. That range matters to collectors with mixed holdings: an appraisal conversation can cover more than vintage baseball, even though Just Collect is especially associated with vintage sports cards.

For mailed collections, the company acknowledges that sending cards away can feel difficult for owners. Its explanation of that process is available here. Collectors can also read the company’s buy list and sign up for its newsletter, which covers acquired collections, show appearances, podcasts and cards offered for sale.

The article also points to past collection stories, including a purchase featuring two Babe Ruth 1929 R316 Kashin cards, a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 5 sale at the Philly Show, and the company’s plans to buy and sell at the September Philly Show.

For visitors weighing a trip to the store, the key details are the September 26 date, the 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM hours, the $100 purchase threshold and the one-spin limit. The featured 1966 Topps Mantle gives the event its vintage centerpiece; the exact prize selection will depend on what remains when each collector arrives.
