What the F#ckstein?

[Phil68]

Guys, I am a proud artist. I love making Banty Red baseball cards. My Mickey Mantle cards always sell for anywhere from 150-300 bucks. I make a few bucks on some cards and lose a few on others but...what's happening right nowin Probsteins auctiuon is absolutely NUTS!!!

There are 4 different bidders over 500 bucks on 6 cards--all going for over 1,000.00. How does Probstein get these bids? At first I thought "they must think it's from 1952???" But, frankly, that's impossible. I've never had a single bidder in over 6000 auctions make a mistake. I'm astonished. How does he do it???
He has 5 different Mantle's up and they're all going for over a grand! 4 of them are over $1,700.00
WOWZERS!
I tried to post a link, but it didn't work. If someone can find the links, it would help. Check Probstein or Banty Red Mantle on eBay...THANK YOU!!!

I was looking through some past sales. I like that Greenberg Geo C Miller. That's neat.

I guess you should consign your cards. I wonder what he would get for your Willie Mays that's currently at $17. Good news for you, congrats. Rob

Here's a link. I may bid on the Mays and send it to Probstein...

Rob,
The thing is...he's getting nearly 2 grand for 5 different cards? That's kinda crazy, no? Can consigning them REALLY add that much? I've never had a card on eBay go above 500 bucks...
I just sold the Mantle "Homerun Derby" card a month ago for 60 bucks...it's at 1700.00 just a month later? that's nearly 30x higher. I'm mystified. Frustrated and obviously angry (not at anyone--but the situation).
I guess it is what it is. Thank you for your interest and response.
If you can post the auction links to the Probstein Mantles or show me how, I'd be much obliged.
Phil

I see the link! Thank you!!!

I think it would be like a painter selling through Doyle Auctions, as opposed to selling through his or her own website. It adds a level of gravitas.

Did you really need 3 threads to show off the prices of your card, and another to showcase them on the front page?


Just curious.

[Republicaninmass]

You wish you got those prices. You "make money on some and lose on others" per you.

Keep pumping what a great deal there are so we can buy them and consign to probstein. 3 threads in one hour

Stay classy, still the same Phil from the PSA boards I see.


Pathetic amd transparent

Yep. Call a spade a spade, I do. Always have--always will. You're a tool...at least TODAY when you posted that you were. If you are typically not a tool, I apologize, but I have precious little contrary evidence. Negativity breeds more negativity. All I do here is tell people how nice their cards are and share cards. That's it.
Classy? You attacked for no reason or provocation, whatsoever. If you were really interested, you could've helped with the link. First word out of you toward me was, in a nicer way than I said it to you "You're an asshole"
The difference is, I come right out and say it. Same "transparent" meaning.

Suspended on this one....email me in a week of you want back. Family members are always off limits UNLESS they are in the hobby and doing things.....Then I think they could be commented on somewhat politely.

Maybe it’s a hype situation like we see in Modern Art like Banksy and folks getting millions for a painting made last week…

[Eric72]

Those cards, while attractive, have final “sold” prices that are absolutely incredible. I can’t imagine that amount of money has actually changed hands for these.

I like how you wrote F#ckstein. Haha
