I don't know what to make of all this. I've made a couple deals with Sean and he recently purchased this 1952 Topps Mantle from me. Sincerely hoping it doesn't show up "restored" in a PSA slab anytime soon

Not saying it will or will not but there are some pretty specific markers in the front of that card. Would be easy to compare.

You can best believe he didn't buy it to lose money. It's a shame what the hobby has become.

Total Shame. Grading Companies Continue to Take Zero Responsibility........
Vicious Cycle trimm/alter....grade....consign and pump/up vault
Market Manipulation On High End Graded starring end of 2013 all total Fake BS numbers/sales.

Nothing Will Stop It Until Most of The Money is Out

It’s going to Crash then Repeat but next time I think it will never be this high again.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it has been this way for many decades. The only new thing is more people know about it.

If not wanting to lose money buying cards is the new threshold..pretty sure we are all guilty of something.

agreed but I didn't buy mine to make or lose money. I just wanted it. What ever happened to collecting?

Or perhaps investing? I don't need to defend Sean here as he can do a great job for himself but the way Mantle's have been increasing, even is this grade it is probably a wise decision to buy and hold at this point.

It is amazing how the pitchforks and torches come out even after someone comes on to explain his position and there are no smoking guns that will implicate Sean beyond a shadow of a doubt. (This comment was not aimed at the poster quoted above in my post just to be clear).

It's not a good candidate for restoration. The rounded corners will keep it in the PSA 3 to 4 range. Soaking it, spending hours working on the surfaces, etc. would just be a waste of time.

I think they could easily soak it, stretch it and color it up a bit, then a nice styling at super cuts. Looks like PSA 5 in the making to me. (great card just the way it is)

"Coming soon" with a sticker a a verbal BJ in the description netting the scam artist 15-20K. Seems about the norm to me.
