BTW...did you guys see the listing on Ebay for 3 1952 Mantle rookies!!!!
for 120k
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-1952-Topps...p2047675.l2557
PSA 5, PSA 7oc, and BVG 5.5
I only saw it, bc my g-parents live near by this town.

Below is the link for the 52 Topps 311 PSA 3 that sold (originally) for $23.5K on Aug 18 on ebay via BO....the day after it sold, the price that was in the system was $23.5k (I checked the price on the 19th the same way as I did today). Today, I checked the sell price again and it is now showing this card sold for $19230 via BO.....I would have to believe the $23.5k price is much closer to the correct price.

The only reason that I can think that caused the price to change from $23.5k to $19230 is that for some unknown reason the seller provided a $4k+ refund to the buyer at some point since Aug 19th. Possibly some sort of case opened through ebay and the seller offered a partial refund to resolve the concern and complete the transaction and this refund caused the change in price this card sold for? The card appears to be in a old holder. Possibly the card was regarded as a 2.5 and the seller agreed to reimburse the buyer if the grade was lower. The buyer did provide a glowing positive feedback on the transaction though.

As always, some very nice Micks. Here are three cards I picked up in the last week or two. The '57 isn't centered all that nicely, but the price was right. They also are more in focus in hand than these scanned images show.

Surely someone won one of the gorgeous Micks PWCC had up this week? Let's see em

My most recent Mantle acquisition. I always wanted this card and finally pulled the trigger thanks to "KC Doughboy."

You are correct. Force of habit. I don't know much about GMA but look forward to getting the card.

Fair enough In my opinion, it is one of the most aesthetically pleasing Topps cards, second only to maybe the 52. It's such a creative design.
