Very nice cards guys! You both must be stoked to add those to your collections!

if legit, is that card really worth $350,000 or close to it?

100% is only in the past year. If you look at the "All Feedbacks" tab and go back to the early ones, there are a few that are sketchy and have responses.

Cert # checks out with having the hologram flip front and reverse barcode, plus scans aren't stolen from an auctionhouse. AHs don't photographs fingers in with the cards...

As to value, PSA SMR is $235,000 but who knows with a high end card like this and only 2 higher.

Just letting y'all know:

I'm selling several of my PSA-7 & 8 Mantles on the 'bay this week. Ends Wednesday, 2/28.

Nice pick up! Good luck on the last one--that one took me 7 or 8 years, and I had to trade prettty heavily for a trimmed version.
