They aren't buying the picture of Mantle, they are buying the PSA flip.

There's probably more than a bit of truth in that Peter.

$500,000 to these bidders is probably just pocket change to them.

right cause you sell the holder not the card......until i ever see a post on ebay that says 'bad card for the grade' or 'techinal aspects of the card are much worse than the grade'

Though like when i see a seller say 'good card for the grade' then i assume any of his other postings are not good for the grade....just like a realtor or baseball cards seller saying 'priced to sell'...to me than means every other listing from that seller or realtor that doesnt say that is 'priced not to sell' when they are the ones using that priced to sell lingo...

Law of exclusion. It's the opposite of the law of inclusions. The law of inclusions says something that is inside something else came first. It's why the chicken came before the egg too

.

He is saying something that is excluded necessarilly has a characteristic of being "not" what the other offer is including. I think I just made less sense than he did.

Haha, thanks Leon! My takeaway: A high grade card is an egg and you should buy a chicken before you sell all your eggs.

Whoa.

correct..not sure how someone didnt understand it.

sort of like saying to a girl 'did you lose weight, you look nice'...girl says 'so yesterday when you saw me, i looked fat and ugly?'

A fine example of how all collectibles are more about things like how popular the subject is and how people relate to the items.

I wonder ---Ok, not really since I'm pretty sure I know the answer.

If you put The 52 Mantle, the 1795 gold coin and a half million dollar piece of art in three storefronts next to each other sideshow style charging some minimal bit to see it - Which would have the longest line?

The likely answer isn't the one I like, but that's sort of the point.

Very interesting, I know I would be in the art line everyday and twice on Sunday. 52 mantles are far from rare and I couldn't care less about a chunk of metal but that piece of art is a different story.

I would buy a mid grade Mantle and head for the art line.
