BTW...did you guys see the listing on Ebay for 3 1952 Mantle rookies!!!!
for 120k
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-1952-Topps...p2047675.l2557
PSA 5, PSA 7oc, and BVG 5.5
I only saw it, bc my g-parents live near by this town.

Below is the link for the 52 Topps 311 PSA 3 that sold (originally) for $23.5K on Aug 18 on ebay via BO....the day after it sold, the price that was in the system was $23.5k (I checked the price on the 19th the same way as I did today). Today, I checked the sell price again and it is now showing this card sold for $19230 via BO.....I would have to believe the $23.5k price is much closer to the correct price.

The only reason that I can think that caused the price to change from $23.5k to $19230 is that for some unknown reason the seller provided a $4k+ refund to the buyer at some point since Aug 19th. Possibly some sort of case opened through ebay and the seller offered a partial refund to resolve the concern and complete the transaction and this refund caused the change in price this card sold for? The card appears to be in a old holder. Possibly the card was regarded as a 2.5 and the seller agreed to reimburse the buyer if the grade was lower. The buyer did provide a glowing positive feedback on the transaction though.
