Ted ZanidakisI recall well what you are reporting....and, I still have all the Beckett's and CPU's (Card Prices Update....a monthly
price guide.) from that era to reinforce my memory of those early 1980's. A 1952T Mantle in 1980 peaked at $3000.
By 1982 the exact same card going for only $500.
The idea presented here has been pretty well "beaten down" by most of the previous posters here. I can't add much
more to this discussion, except to say that this "high-end" stuff is just a risky "high-stakes" gamble.
It's not for me......
