It takes only a couple of guys with big egos and wallets to drive up the Mantles. IMO very hard to tell if it will hold the new price levels, much less continue to rise.

Are there any special bidding rules? Do you have to be pre-approved or anything? I think that Superman comic had some rules like that. With 7 days left, I'm tempted to just throw out a bid, but I think I'll refrain

right but they were saying that years ago when it was approaching 100k that it wouldn't maintain that level...plus maybe they lose out on one or two of these types of buys and only make out once...but if bought the mantle 10 years ago you are making 350k and if the card went to zero after buying it 10 years ago you are losing 60k so could lose 5 times and be right once and still make money....if you have that bankroll

...I would hope the guys that spend 400k have some type of business background..who knows.
