No one bought cards off each other, you either traded them or won them by playing colors, or *flipping them. A pack of Baseball cards cost .05 cents in 1952, and you got a stick of gum! If you didn't get a Mickey Mantle card you might have been able to trade a Yogi Berra card for two or three Mickey Mantle's. The back of Mantle's card read 13 career home runs, with a 267 average. Not the star yet, I'm sure a lot of Mantle baseball cards landed up in the spokes of bicycle tires. A common practice back in the day.

You took a baseball card, and fastened it to the frame of a bicycle with a clothes pin so that the card would hit the spokes of the tire. As you rode the bike it made a cool motorcycle like sound! Now you know why these cards are so expensive today.

*Flipping cards. - One kid takes a card, holds it beteen finger tips, and thumb along his side and then, with a flip of the wrist, lets it drop to the floor. If It lands, face up (heads) or face down (tails). The second kid then flips and tries to match the card. If they match he wins, if not the first kid wins.

What will an autographed Mickey Mantle PSA 8 rookie card in mint condition sell for?

Collectible items could add value to the price of a signature such as the cover of a magazine or baseball card but not always. As in the case of a baseball card, generally collectors of baseball cards would rather have a baseball card without the signature, and a collector of signatures will not always pay extra for the "collectible" baseball card. This is why it is not a good idea to have an expensive baseball card signed. You could devalue the price of the card, and get less for it. A non graded 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle baseball card typically sells in the $4,000.-$10,000. price range depending on condition they could sell for more. Graded cards will sell for a significant amount of money more mostly because of the many fakes on the market. Hard core collectors will only spend big money on graded cards by reputable companies such as PSA.In 2001 a PSA NM-MT 8 1952 Topps Mantle broke new ground with a final bid of $57,560 making it the highest price every paid for a 1952 Topps Mantle in NM-MT condition at that time. A 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle PSA 8 NM-MT sold for a staggering $72,056! in 2006. In general A signed Mickey Mantle baseball card is worth about $150.-$300. Signed on a Topps #311 Rookie card it will sell for more than an inexpensive card" but well below the price of a Non graded unsigned card. A 1958 Topps #150 Mickey Mantle baseball card Signed sold at auction for $338. The same card in the same condition unsigned sold for $332.55. If I find a Signed Mickey Mantle Rookie Card I will up date this post. I would say that the signed Rookie Card will sell at about 25-50 percent the price of a unsigned card in the same condition.
