Mickey Mantle Debut ticket sold on eBay

[Shoeless Moe]

The Mantle ticket didn't go under the radar. For it's condition and being ungraded it landed about where it should have.

Once graded it'll bump it to a 18k-20k ticket.

So "IF" the buyer of it plans to slab it, and "IF" they plan to sell it they'll make a few grand, but that's the case with most tickets, slab 'em and value goes up.

If you think this is a 40-50k ticket, HIGHLY doubtful. I personally don't care about the condition of rare significant tickets but guys who spend 50k and up sure do. They'd want a better example than this one.

When I said under the radar, I meant due to the fact it wasn't titled properly. No mention of Mantle's debut. That's a HUGE miss for the listing.

Most (but not all), but most tickets are down, and not only from 2022, but here's an example of down just from earlier in 2024 until now.

Same exact ticket sells at REA in Spring 2024 for $1260, sells again at REA in Fall 2024, and slabbed by PSA, (so much for slabbing adding value) for $690.

The consignor really took a bath on that one. They win it in Spring, pay to get it graded, resell 6 months later, and get killed on it. Ouch.

Fear not however if you missed out on this one, pretty sure I know the winner, and pretty sure you will see it on Ebay in 2-3 weeks for $2500.

Oh yeah, that guy who marks everything up 4 to 10 times and sits on it for eternity. The problem with developing a reputation like that is anytime I run across his items, I dont even bother trying to negotiate as I know he probably only paid 20% of the list price.
