Makes me feel a little better about how much I have been paying for raw Mantles this month.
My plan is to get the best raw cards I can afford and find and hope they grade high...but, I'm afraid my plan, just like what the OP described, is a fool's errand.
I decided to take this course when I realized how much graded Mantles have gone up since I sold off my last representations.
Let's hope I get as lucky as that guy who put down $85K on Tiger at the last moment.
