1952 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 8 Offered by PWCC Auctions #9 / Change in auction biz ?

[Peter_Spaeth]

The biggest difference I see between ebay and an auction house at that price level is the bid increments.

Brent's net on a card like this selling at $400,000 should be roughly $391,749. If he extended 5% to the consignor that would mean he pockets $11749 without any advertising costs. He did a spread in PSA, so call that an extra $1500-$2000 more than his normal advertising costs.

All in all he will probably pocket $10k.

as long as the card gets 350k or so I would call it a success....how many people really are interested in paying 350k for this card or more..who are legit buyers...at 300k there will be people that believe they can resell it..but when get to the 350 range I don't think these are flippers... maybe sell later but not immediate..who knows..
