Exactly!! There is a YouTuber named Erik Jabbs, and he was on a mission to purchase a 1952 PSA 1 Topps Mantle. He looked on eBay and saw a nice one for 45K. When he got to the show, he saw the same seller had a table there. He asked about the Mantle on eBay. He was told it just sold a minute ago. So close, that the buyer was still there. The new owner said that he was probably going to sell the Mantle and asked how much he was going to offer. Erik said, $40K, the new owner said, SOLD!!. The dealer that originally had the card, had it listed for $50K, even though it was on eBay for $45K. The second guy jumped at the $40K offer, so I wonder how cheap he got it for? I'm guessing he made between $1000-$5000 in 60 seconds.
