I question that 1. It doesn't seem to have the lower left missing pixel. Agree with above poster.

legit sale? I do not remember seeing it if so and usually check at least twice a day on the 52 for what pops up.

if it was an actual sale and not a hijacked quick scam account, I would love to see the condition of that card...


other than that other $2200 sale on 5/14, everything else is well above the $3k mark. and most of the "sorta" documented sales are prior to the explosion that has occurred this past 8 months or so.

and while I am not knocking vcp in any means and these are pretty much code/computer initiated recordings, these fake sales do slip past the goalie. here is the info that still registers on a signed 51 bowman that is completely fraudulent...I know because I hit the BIN as soon as I saw it. hijacked account, fake ups slip sent to some random address in my hometown...reported to vcp, they did nothing to remove it from their database:

1/8/16 Goodwin Auction $23,677.20
12/16/15 eBay Listing $5,990.00 (FRAUD SALE)

eta: and on the flip side, there's another completely legitimate one that did sell on 8/4/15 that is not listed on vcp.

i remember that day very whale! ; )

Side question. Can you please tell me what VCP and BIN is?
Thanks.

Just to make you guys feel better, here is another rough one that doesn't have perfect centering. Not sure what difference it would make on this card, but I assume it wouldn't be much?

VCP = vintagecardprices.com. It is a subscription website that lists previous sale prices for cards by grade.

BIN = Buy It Now on eBay or other fixed price listing.

in this climate..who the heck would pay 400k for a Mantle..but there is insider trading in the stock market too.....so wherever you look there is corruptness out there with a capital C

I doubt the Mastro information release will have much of an impact on the high end 52 Mantle market. I'd be surprised if the next PSA 8 goes for less than 500k.

Agreed. I doubt it will have any impact at all on it. It's an iconic card and the prices aren't going anywhere anytime soon--and I say that as someone that bought in before the recent price increase and doesn't really care where the prices end up. In fact, I'd almost prefer if they started to tank as there is one 1952 Topps example that I passed up years ago that I've always wanted to see come up for sale again, and preferable at a price close to where it was at that time....
