$400+ for 1952T Mantle....

I can see this being shipped off to one of those 'other' TPGs and even come back with a numerical grade. Then have it re-listed on Ebay again.
I remember seeing a 52 Mick with a milk mustache, where the person rubbed so much for some odd reasons, but i do belive it was 'real'. (if not mistaken)

It was very ugly but real. It was passed around like crazy for a while and sold for pretty cheap a couple of times. I think it was in a PSA holder.

Does anyone know if that PSA tag with the ? authenticity is given for any card that's not authentic, or only if they are unable to determine authenticity? If the card is so beat up that they can't make a determination, but there is still a decent chance it's real, I guess I can see it going for a few hundred.

Why would anyone wanna spend a few hundred on that card though, even if it turns out that it is real? In the back of your mind you'll always question if you paid a few hundred for a card that may be a reprint, at least I would. Plus, it's beat to all heck. Ugly card, even if it is a authentic Mantle.

This may be a case of the seller getting greedy and shooting himself in the foot.

He had what looks like 3 legit bidders over $415.99 but couldn't resist using his new 0 feedback shill account to bid way too much. Either that, or someone used the new account to prevent someone from getting ripped off, then simply didn't pay.

Not the card I was referencing. I honestly can't tell whether this one is real or not as I don't know enough the differences between the two variations (I bought graded when I got mine).

If this was real, I'd throw out $1000 for it all day, every day.
