Nice card. Still....

Waaaay outta my league. But what I find interesting is that at the $175,000 level, the next eBay bidding increment is apparently a mere $100 (unless the winner's max bid just happened to be $175,100).

I believe that is eBay's highest bid increment.

For that much money, they can't throw in shipping?

Maybe people are realizing this is not a Rookie Card

Why do you say that? Straight sevens where selling for more than this last year. If anything the prices are dropping on 52 Mantles. Most likely just a minor price adjustment, but definitely real.

Nice card but a little o/c for me. It might have gone higher with better centering.
Cornering/manipulating the market on these won't be a cheap proposition if anyone wants to try to keep the prices high. Probably always too rich for my blood but I would not be that much of a risk taker on a card like this, even if I had the money. That's just me though.

Did the PSA 8 1952 Topps Mantle really go for only $240K ($282K with BP) at Hunt Auctions last night?

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A PSA 3 T206 Plank went for $64,625 with BP in the same auction.

Even non-rookie Planks?

That Plank was graded PSA 3, but it looked poor for the grade IMO. .... more like a 2 in a 3 case.

I hope no one on the board got the Plank now that I've insulted it.

No one buys Planks on this board.

Even Better, it's an old 8 from before half grades, imagine resubbing it and getting the bump!

I agree that the Plank was overgraded, but I still think that it was a very good buy for whoever ended up with it. There are not many SC 150 Planks around and their visual appeal is so much better than the 350s.

[clydepepper]

Missed it by that much...

Put the 2 different series side by side and it's a no brainer.

7's might hold up, as that grade and higher are true condition rarities. I'd definitely be a bear for five-figure low grade examples. Just too many of them coming out of the woodwork.

I agree. And with the way the 6 figure cards have gone, as to a rise in the population of them with recent record high trends, the bottom gets further down. What's the ole saying about risk vs reward? For me I can't imagine paying several hundred k and then losing 50k or 100k on a sale. That would bite.
