agree and disagree
1) I agree - something doesn't seem "right" about offer #2 - Be REALLY careful - If something sounds too good to be true - 99 times out of one hundred, it is! I would state the obvious to the guy and ask him what his motivation to do the deal is?
2) In terms of many responders to this thread going "Mantle crazy" - I disagree and agree and it all comes down to timing. I agree for the long run I would hands down rather have the Mantle - much greater likelihood over time to sustain its value due to the many factors mentioned here. IF which appears to be the case here, you don't want to keep the card, but turn it into cash TODAY, then it becomes a question of which card(s) today will net you the most. As mentioned the likelihood of the Munson fetching 13k again is small to none (imo) -knock about 25-35% off and maybe your in the ballpark. I don't know enough about the market for those football cards to have an opinion - but do your homework and if you determine you are likely to sell them for more than your bottom line on the Mantle.........well to do anything else would be leaving money on the table.
