Yea that 56 Mantle looks a little too good to be true as well. The reason I thought of battlefield, other than the cards looking too good to still be raw is the description seems to be worded the exact same way.

Battlefield had a complete t205 raw set a few nights ago that sold for strong prices. I left some low end bids and got blown out. Wonder how the cards look in person.

Lots of experience with Battlefield and nothing positive to say. One of these days, I'll do a longer post on that.

Anyway, yes, the wording in the description is either a straight copy/paste from battlefield or it is simply a second/third account from the same seller. And, yes, the Clemente and the Mantle are too good to be true.

Full disclosure: I put two low end bids on these cards -- primarily just to watch the action on them.

Battlefield or not, there are too many red flags. Why wasn't the card submitted to PSA for grading and an opportunity for top dollar in selling the card? The seller is leaving a lot of money on the table by not having the card graded. I laughed when I saw the shipping was " economy ". For a card that is nearly $3k, send it overnight instead of letting the card sit around in a postoffice for days on end. That " generous " 30 day return will evaporate quickly and there will be no time to submit the card for grading AND return to the seller if the card doesn't grade well. As others have said, it looks too good to be true.

I won the Bresnahan. When I saw the seller it didn't bother me because the Bresnahan had chopped corners, so I knew the card was poor and scan manipulation wasn't going to change that. Either way it is just a duplicate AB Bresnahan for my t205 American Beauty Collection.

He mentions previously in KSA holder = Bad mistake = Run Away Fast

30 day return means you would have to move really fast on getting to PSA or SGC

Learned my lesson many times on buying high end cards that are either not graded and/or not graded by PSA or SGC.

In any case $2K plus way out of line - someone's going to be eventually butthurt for sure

I'll bet $50 that the card is trimmed, trimmed, trimmed - any takers?
