Mantle right now has guys who are 30 and guys who are 70 pursuing his cards. Most of his cards are also most often found poorly cut/centered. It all combines to make the very nice looking examples-- in any TPG grade, high or low-- very contested. The card in question looked really good, in my opinion. While I'd personally prefer it with a single worn corner or hidden wrinkle to keep the price down, I can see why it went so high.
