Stan Musial

Market outlook

Stable Outlook 3/10

The sources show established collector interest and recent sales across grades, but do not provide enough consistent time-series evidence to support a rising or declining trend.

Next months. Uncertain; expect prices to depend heavily on grade, eye appeal, and venue.

Long term. The card’s historical and player significance may sustain collector interest, but appreciation is not assured.

History

Stanley Frank Musial (1920–2013) played his entire major-league career with the St. Louis Cardinals and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1968. ([psacard.com](https://www.psacard.com/cardfacts/baseball-cards/1958-topps/stan-musial-all-star-476/26512?utm_source=openai))

1958; #476 is identified as Musial’s first Topps card. ([psacard.com](https://www.psacard.com/articles/articleview/9298/psa-set-registry-collecting-1958-topps-baseball-card-about-maris-musial-moving-teams?utm_source=openai))

• The card belongs to Topps’ Sport Magazine All-Star Selection subset. ([cardboardconnection.com](https://www.cardboardconnection.com/1958-topps-baseball-cards-2?utm_source=openai))
• Musial’s #476 and Mickey Mantle’s #487 were reportedly triple-printed; four other cards were displaced from the relevant print sheets and became short prints.

Collector notes

Condition. Check centering, corners, edges, surface, and the card’s die-cut edges; the 1958 set is noted for centering and print-quality challenges. ([t206cards.com](https://t206cards.com/checklists/1958-topps/stan-musial-all-star-476?utm_source=openai))

Authenticity. For a valuable copy, compare it with authenticated examples and consider professional authentication or grading; the sources do not provide card-specific authentication markers.
