I contacted PWCC who provided me with the underbidder for the Exhibits Cobb auction (which I already sent to Jeff). If anyone else wants the ebay id, please let me know. Thanks.

World record shattered by 50 percent.

That's not moral!

That may be the orangest back I've ever seen on a '64.

Save $430
 

I got a chuckle when I clicked the link for the 64 Mantle. Above the listing, where ebay suggests alternatives to the auction in case you were outbid, is another PSA 8 '64 Mantle for a BUY IT NOW price of $430 less. Even more impressive than shattering the world record by 50% is the fact that they made a but it now price look like a bargain.

Lmfao!

That was a BIN with an offer. I am sure they would take less.

Leon that card does not have a thermonuclear orange back. Or the conspicuous white spot above the lettering. Apples to oranges.

I think this card just proves that collectors really are listening to those of us who have been saying: "Buy the scan, not the holder"

If I sell this exact same card...same cert # and everything - I don't break $700......just sayin'! I find it hilarious that the card brought 4 figures.

For the 64 Mantle card, if you look at the feedback that PWCC provided, the ebay buyer for that card is the following: Link

This is my guess as the underbidder for the 64 Mantle auction (just looked for bidders with same # feedback): Link

For the 50 percent over world record I can only hope the consignment was from a legitimate source.

Good grief. I have to go beat my head against a wall. 64 Mantles were so common that you couldn't even trade one for a Ted Savage. I used to open a pack of 64s and pitch em in the trash if I had them already. I probably threw away 10 mint Mantles.

I never got a dup Mantle that I can remember, but I did seem to always get my one per year.

64 was my first year of buying cards and I went in whole hog. Mantle was in the first series and I wound up with 20 of everybody before completing it. The two cards I could never get in the set were Pete Rose and Willie Mays. My next door neighbor was a Giant and Mays fan and he had the only Mays in town. He wouldn't part with it for ANYTHING! Took me 5 years to get it from him and by then it was a little beat up. That card is in my collection to this day. It meant too much to me to upgrade. I just had an idea though. I think I will upgrade and send it back to my old buddy who lives 1000 miles away now. He probably still regrets giving that card up.

Thought I would give this a 'bump" PWCC has just listed a nice selection of cards, even 19th cent. I see a couple I will shoot for, but he has been getting incredible prices as of late. I'll probably get shut out.:( Dave.

I've had exceptional service but noticed some items going for more than market price. Could be due to the volume of auctions available which in turn brings outs more bidders?

Put on your sunglasses and view the offering!

Whatever you say, Princess.

You're about as intelligent as my.... :D

I just bought a 10 PSA 1981 Winfield traded I looked at past sales before I bought it and PWCC got twice the amount for there's than other sellers got.

I've seen many examples this year where PWCC got significant less for items that some of the traditional auction houses. Sometimes 20-25% less. If you think consigning with them is a slam dunk I don't agree. True on some items not true on others.

Not unlike other auction houses in this respect. I have won and lost things at lower and higher prices with them. They do have a great following though.
