Prices coming down...

[savedfrommyspokes]

Speaking of down, I can't remember the last time I saw a 52 Topps Mantle graded as a 2 sell for less than $9k legitimately.

A mere 7 years ago, I was underbidder on a PSA 2 for $4500. Not a lifetime ago. It just seems like they have been high for awhile. The run up is recent.

Nice card but it does have a pretty big crease in his head....sort of generous 2 imo......I would get a 1.5 if I submitted it ....

Leon, I was about to say same, but didn't want to offend the winner of that card...it's also pretty off center. Actually, price seems about right.

also remember some people remark how certain cards were getting '4' money for a '2' but we all know there are many candidates of '2's that with a little bit of polish can be 5s etc.... so to me theres a difference of a card being bought as a '2' to be put on display...or a '2' to just be polished and flipped..

It seems like some people are concerned about this but shouldn't we be happy prices are going down?

I think some folks are more concerned at this point with proving they were right all along or in seeing perceived evildoers take it on the chin. Or both.

It's a 2.5, and in a Beckett slab, with 25 minutes left, and slightly over $9,000.

It's hard to tell, with 100% certainty, due to the many conditions of this card we see, if they are truly coming down, or down much at all, imo. (Of course I am not talking about summer prices)

I think this 2.5 was an outlier because of the creasing in the middle of it. It was a bit of a generous 2.5, imo.,
Mine sold 3-4 weeks ago for almost double that but it was in a PSA holder too. Beckett hasn't done a good job on marketing their vintage grading. It's too bad as they have at least one of the best graders in the hobby.
