How many of the previous sales were certified high end?

But yea double the recent average does seem a little on the high side, even considering the card was dead centered.

Peter - Are you just researching the T206 prices? Or does that average include any other issues?

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic, and that was a list of other recent sales of the same card, 53 Topps Mantle PSA 8.

But not all 8s are created equally. (unless this is the same card :))

Yeah, some have some help. Maybe even this one.

But if you don't think it's irrational to pay 70 percent over the world record for a card that comes up frequently enough, then so be it.

Only three retractions along the way.

It actually was the same card that sold 2 1/2 months prior for 25k.

Yea that doesn't look good Peter. But someone sure came up on this one, shilled or not.

[Peter_Spaeth]

For only 41K I could have upgraded this one. Damn.

[Iron Horse]

If you do upgrade you know who will buy the 5.5 :D
Great example

+1 Awesome card!

[bobbyw8469]

I wish I still had pics of my '5'. It looked like an '8'.

It is now.

Just kidding.

LOL, but that's how these things work. Centered ex to ex mt cards are a doctor's stock in trade.
