It says sold by best offer for $14,500?

With buy it nows on two other Mantle's in PSA 9 at 8k and 10k with no takers. Seems fishy to me.

My thoughts were if someone was looking for this card, its not like its a one of a kind. There were two others just like it on ebay at the same time this one was purchased. The funny part is it was a best offer, meaning the buy it now might have been 15 or 16k. It cant be a premium for centering because the even the centering is not that great.

Also, ebay fees are actually not as expensive on large dollar items as people may think. After $1000.00 the fees drop dramatically. I think only 2% on a $1,000 or more. So it was probably only about $300 in fees total.

In any event it is a beautiful card. The 59 was my first Mantle. Got it from a pack, although it means more to me now that it did then
