Poor guy, seller is probably excited to see how many people are watching the card on Ebay, thinking they are potential bidders. My guess is many of them are those who have commented in or viewed this thread. 
To the original point, I'm a more condition sensitive collector that would not purchase that card in that condition. However, I think there is a strong market for low condition iconic cards such as the Mantle simply due to the cost constraints. There are many collectors that want this card but do not have the means to purchase a nicer example hence a strong market for lower end cards. As for population, I believe there are a lot of '52 Mantles still ungraded in personal collections that will eventually be graded when the time comes to sell. Do those of you who follow this card see any signs of fluctuations in any particular condition ranges?
