Waaaay outta my league. But what I find interesting is that at the $175,000 level, the next eBay bidding increment is apparently a mere $100 (unless the winner's max bid just happened to be $175,100).

I believe that is eBay's highest bid increment.

For that much money, they can't throw in shipping?

Why do you say that? Straight sevens where selling for more than this last year. If anything the prices are dropping on 52 Mantles. Most likely just a minor price adjustment, but definitely real.

Cornering/manipulating the market on these won't be a cheap proposition if anyone wants to try to keep the prices high. Probably always too rich for my blood but I would not be that much of a risk taker on a card like this, even if I had the money. That's just me though.

Did the PSA 8 1952 Topps Mantle really go for only $240K ($282K with BP) at Hunt Auctions last night?

https://huntauctions.com/live/imagev...t_qual=&closed

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A PSA 3 T206 Plank went for $64,625 with BP in the same auction.

That Plank was graded PSA 3, but it looked poor for the grade IMO. .... more like a 2 in a 3 case.

I hope no one on the board got the Plank now that I've insulted it.

No one buys Planks on this board.

Even Better, it's an old 8 from before half grades, imagine resubbing it and getting the bump!

I agree that the Plank was overgraded, but I still think that it was a very good buy for whoever ended up with it. There are not many SC 150 Planks around and their visual appeal is so much better than the 350s.

Put the 2 different series side by side and it's a no brainer.

7's might hold up, as that grade and higher are true condition rarities. I'd definitely be a bear for five-figure low grade examples. Just too many of them coming out of the woodwork.

I agree. And with the way the 6 figure cards have gone, as to a rise in the population of them with recent record high trends, the bottom gets further down. What's the ole saying about risk vs reward? For me I can't imagine paying several hundred k and then losing 50k or 100k on a sale. That would bite.
