Seriously? Such a sharp increase in price?
Pardon me for being a newbie here; however, that card has been selling well since the 1980's, if I correctly recall.
It has fetched record prices before...I do know this. However, a then-28-year-old example of Mantle's '52 Topps splashing on the Christie's Auction House scene in the days when Michael Jackson ruled the pop charts (popular music...not population reports, for those who may be a bit too young to remember the reference) is different than a sudden skyrocket more than 28 years later.
It seems as though something might be amiss with this. I may be wrong.
Best,
Eric
