What do you guys think of this card??

Jim.

Excellent research and post.

Thanks for the info. I've seen fake cards that were artificially aged/stained to give an authentic touch to them.

I remain amazed how much people are willing to pay for ungraded cards. If a card is a $3k card, why wouldn't the seller grade it before selling it? Doesn't make any sense at all. I guess we all want that amazing steal. Problem is, this is not an antique store with inventory that hasn't been seen before, or a shop run by someone who has not internet. eBay IS the internet marketplace, so the sellers could just as easily research the value of a card before posting it.

Some favorites...
Blurry, ungraded $10k card? Really?

Very white T206 Cobb. A bit too white...

i think we passed as to why a seller would list a legit expensive card ungraded.....we have moved on to why it would be in a sgc holder and not psa when they ask for psa value....it obvious they tried and failed on the cards in the 1000s..

Good God seriously.

Great Condition...Scans are tough as I don't want to take it out of the thick screwdown holder it's in..Card is Centered Great front and back...I have owned this card since 1989 it is my favorite card but every item has a price.

***WOW a PSA 8 sold for $23651 Search Item #351108610779

***WOW another PSA 8 SOLD for $24,550 Search Item #381036921518

***WOW another PSA 8 SOLD 7/9/15 for $42,312 Search Item #400947458984

***The prices are skyrocketing on Mantle cards so don't miss out on this nice ungraded example. I am not saying my card is in graded 8 condition I am just showing how the prices of a graded 8 have exploded in the last year selling in the $13000 range then in the $24000 range and now (3) Graded 8 examples have sold in the $45000 range making all conditions of this 1953 #82 Mantle go up in price. A PSA 7 also Sold for $12775 recently.

Do they spell things differently in Texas?

[ALR-bishop]

Yes, we do a lot of stuff different in Texas. You should try practicing law down here

It seams based on other responses that my suggestion may have been a bit too optimistic. If there's no chance the card is real I would contact the seller to return or file the not as described claim immediately. Hopefully you'll only be out the return shipping costs.

do not stop payment on credit card first.

let ebay>paypal run it's course first.

if you do the stop payment on credit card, ebay and paypal can no longer help whatsoever and you are stuck w/ whatever your cc company decides.

...but hopefully you used your amex.

in fact, always use amex.

(especially being the gambling man you are)

why is amex better than visa/mastercard....i happen to use amex for ebay so was wondering about an extra advantages

[begsu1013]

visa/mc protect the vendors first.

amex protects the customer first.

It doesn't make a diference if the seller posts "no returns". You will win this with ebay and the seller must return your shipping costs.
