Hi Matt, it sounds like your a young guy and that you just started learning the hobby. My suggestion is you should delete your post, send the card or cards to PSA for grading. When you get them back, as long as they are encapsulated, you post them for sale again. This net54 is a great place for a guy to learn, and also to buy and sell. The same guys that are giving it to you today, would be the same guys that would gladly help you with advice. You came on a little strong, it’s a learning thing.

Anyone serving popcorn in this thread?

I was surprised to see a BST thread - that started yesterday - with a second page.

It does have an “Adrian” feel to it.

My bad - I had offered $80 based on the 61T Maris. i got my threads confused and do not have any interest in this 53T mantle. My apologies

[Mpags91]

Thanks for the advice Chuck. I did not come on strong. I simply posted a card for sale and asked prospective buyers to make me an offer. Also, I did so respectfully and remained respectful even after all the despicable reprobates chimed in. I made a mistake by posting it on this thread and claiming it "may" be a 4-5. Again, I wasn't able to make edits until Leon moved it over to the BST thread. I'm not in love with baseball cards like you all are and that should be okay. I have a right to be here and to contribute to your hobby. However, I am not going to take that crap. If you aren't interested in what I have then simply move on to another thread. As for the grading, like I said my heart isn't in it and frankly I don't feel comfortable sending high dollar cards off in the mail. That doesn't mean someone won't have the courage to be interested in purchasing my collection and having them graded themselves. People in this hobby do like ungraded cards and will be willing to purchase my collection. You guys should already know that, so shame on your behavior. Your bullying tactics are a disgrace to the hobby. I've already made it clear that I am far from an expert, but you're right, I am learning a lot about cards and a lot about the type of people who like to collect them.

Out of curiosity, how would you deliver the Mantle to whomever purchases the card? Are you only dealing in person, face-to-face?

[Mpags91]

Eric Perry and Brian, I don't think you read the post. If you did, you would be privately messaging me with an offer like some of you already have. It's quite simple, if someone nearby is interested, they can arrange to meet me and make an offer. Believe it or not, that's how transactions used to go down.

1. If you are not in love with baseball cards and the hobby, and are only interested in selling your grandfather’s cards, then this group is potentially not for you. This group primarily includes serious and hardcore members/collectors, as well as those that want to learn and make connections/friends in the hobby.
2. You do not have a “right to be here.” No one does. Your presence is is a privilege that Leon bestowed on you, me, and everyone else. You did not pay an entrance fee or earn anything. You have no rights on a private forum. I’m thankful Leon runs this forum and allows me to participate.
3. People mail high dollar cards through the mail everyday. Postal insurance is not that expensive.

+1 to all of the above.

However, I am curious about the "local pick up " option from OP, and its logistics.

Regardless of any interaction that's happened with MPags, this is not true at all.

There are some people who rarely/never participate socially on here (and only use the forum as a vehicle to buy and sell), and that doesn't hinder them doing so. Nor does that involve a need for "a love of the hobby".

Obviously those things are great, but they are not some necessity or requirement for someone's activity here. If the guy just wanted to sell grandpa's collection without any of the above, there's nothing wrong with that.

(until you start asking $1800 for a $100 '61 T Maris).....

[Mpags91]

Cardsagain74 that was a typo. I listed Mantle's price for Maris. The price I'm asking for 61 Maris is $250.00 OBO.

I'm sorry Conor912, are you going to make me an offer for my Topps 82 Mickey Mantle card? Last time I checked this was my post.

One thing that triggered a little sarcasm is when you said that you aren't here to make friends...well we all have many pals here that meet at several shows and spend quality time together and enjoy it ! Furthermore, most of us have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on our beloved hobby...ive had 25 40 and 50k cash sent to me with minimal coverage overnighted ,had an incredible 80k trade worked out from a good friend met from this board , call 3-4 guys here weekly about OUR HOBBY. You come in a little raw, not wanting friends, not liking sports cards "WRONG BOARD" for this kind of antic. This card is a good hobby card that many want a decent example of ,THIS MANTLE has rounding corners and I do not purchase rounded corners so Iam moving on but this is a very very miniscule amount of what many spend here...Ebay doesn't care how you treat their customers but we do ,so maybe EBAY is your best bet. Many of this hobby giants read or here on this board , so to say one has to meet you in person would only mean that the Marriott and the PRIME RIB is on you, it's how we roll. This is why some may have reproach toward you...so even if you were Queen Elizabeth's top soldier you wouldn't have been treated with the royalty you're demanding for less then average example of this card and it still wouldn't happen with a hi-end Babe Ruth card...I like many wish you well of the card just be a little more at ease .

[PhillyFan1883]

In person only ? I defended you earlier, but I have to say thats pretty ridiculous on a $1000 card.. I think you are unknowingly hitting for the cycle of NET 54 pet peeves lol. Don’t take it to heart. I hate bullying and I am not doing so. I just am adding my two cents to hopefully provide insight.

Off subject- Last time I did an in person only deal off flea bay I was sold a genuine 1955 Bowman mantle sgc 3 and a Counterfeit 1952 Mantle Topps. (SGC A case was cracked carefully around the edges and super glued back together. Needless to say when I realized the fraud I had to beat the shit out of a middle age Asian man in a TD bank parking lot. LOL..

ALL that said your card looks genuine, but I would grade the card and just use insurance when shipping the card. If it was a 30k card ok I would understand In person only but its not, they offer insurance for that.

[icurnmedic]

Likely could ship that card CONUS fully insured less than $30 registered mail. Secure and consistent( but sometimes painfully slow). But it sure does open up a plethora of potential customers.
