Is the Mays higher/lower than previous sales, is the Runnels a new high, and what's everyone's thoughts on how the Mantle finished? Personally, I don't recall seeing some of the prices that were realized with some of lowered numbered 52 Topps cards, but maybe I haven't been around long enough?

In full disclosure, I love this card. Possibly my favorite card of all time, with his '53 a close second. |

Hopefully the $147,000, that the previous owner lost, is like pocket change to him? I was thinking and wondering how the $80,000 Koufax, that sold last year was doing, then I found a PSA 9 that sold at Heritage for $215,000 with the BP. ![]()

This recent sale of the 52 PSA 9 Mays for the 100k+ loss is a signal to me that the big investors might slow their short term, less then 1 year, exposure for 9's. Idk this is interesting and educational to watch for sure :-)

I may be wrong, but I would think that the vast majority of the members of Net54 don't give a hoot about "The Market". We collect cards, maybe sell a few cards, and we are very happy with our lower grade collections. We enjoy the chase, and we collect cards that are meaningful to us. I think most of us sell our excess cards so we can use the money to buy more cards for our personal collections. As far as what a 52 PSA 3 Mantle will be worth 10 years down the road - I don't care.

In my personal opinion, if you are in sports cards for an investment...you are a poor investor. Yes, the market has shown it can be manipulated by the unsavory as it is small. I don't believe this will go unnoticed by the government much longer due to the current cash flow some of those involved are tossing around. In 10 years I only see the same ups and downs we see today and the values will be fairly steady as a whole. The long, long term...only downhill as collectors age and pass away. Does this affect my collecting? Not at all as it is a hobby, not my retirement planning.
