Another 1952 psa 5 Topps Mantle ebay issue

[Bestdj777]

I don't know if it is legit or not (haven't looked at the listing), but, if it is real, I could see him not wanting to disclose the source so you don't know what he paid for it.

[1952boyntoncollector]

he could say 'bought from a friend'

that's fine...but obviously as a potential buyer if I knew he bought it from a reputable source it could help verify the card....anyone that's looking to pay 30k for a mantle probably will know how to check cardtarget or VCP....

I not asking about a price..but if bougth it from mile high etc..would be good to know....everyone knows mantles have gone up in value as well..who cares what they paid for it..

Begsu is a legit collector and member of the PSA boards. He is a major Nolan Ryan collector, very active in the Registry. I have dealt with him in the past and we talk occasionally on the board. Nice guy. Also, he has over 2200 eBay feedback with 100% positive.

right...that's why even though he said he had the card for 3 years..and theres a sale from last year..i still give him the benefit of the doubt...but that's not odd to you? maybe the prior sale was of a fake mantle.....

but when a seller of a 30k card.. says he has the card for 3 years and you see a sale on cardtarget of the same card a year earlier...don't you think its fair for me to question that?

His responses were very unprofessional...and did nothing to clear up the discrepancy...theres acutally a psa 4.5 mantle and a sgc 6 mantle at auction right now on ebay ....

SGC 6? From the 0 feedback seller? I hardly call that legit

this is the SGC 6 guys response for me asking for verification of where he got it:

This is my first account with eBay and my grandfather passed away so I
inherited his memorabilia and talking to my grandmother that the card was
bought from my grandfather friend Brett from PWCC. Thank you for your time
and good luck.

Hysterical; and he borrowed PWCC's title including "setbreak."

The older scan was better, though it does reveal a more prominent crease/indentation in the lower left.

[1952boyntoncollector]

right so the seller is already a little bit disingenuous with the picture..maybe its me..but if I were trying to sell a card for $35,000.00, I woud show the clearest photos possible and have an answer as to why a card shows up on cardtarget being sold last year when I say 'ive had it for years' and I wouldn't insult the buyer for asking those questions.

..I know theres a lot of interest in the card but not everyone can pay 30k for a card, plus having as many people interested who can pay can help drive up the price...and ive lost interest and others may as well with his attitude..

It's probably legit and the guy is just being cross, but it's not that hard a card to find if you're patient, wait until you are completely comfortable. And even assuming he would take 30, that seems a lot to pay for a card with a prominent corner crease/indent.

I had no issues with Begsu1013....he bought my Nolan Ryan sporting news for over 1k. No problems as a buyer.
