Good price for both buyer and seller, not crazily breaking record

I’m holding off buying Mantles at these levels. I think within the next couple years the us economy could be facing a lot of headwinds.

$66k for a PSA 2 isn’t exactly a good price from the buying side. I just don’t see the upside on that purchase.

Lelands 52 partial set with a gorgeous psa 3 mantle only did 78k.

I wouldn't say that 3 was a beauty...nice, but noticeable diamond cut. Still 78k for a partial set (missing half the high numbers) isn't a bad price seeing many of the cards were lower grade.

That was a decent 3, the one heritage sold for 162k is what I would consider a gorgeous 3. Dead centered key cards, especially notoriously off center cards like the 52 Mantle, can't be compared to average for the grade cards. At least not in terms of value. The guy who bought that centered 2 for 66k will be fine long term in my opinion.

Maybe a guy just wanted to look at a copy that hit his eye the way he wanted for the rest of his days, and doesn’t care about the upside. That said, people didn’t see the upside when I paid a record for my 4.5 at the time.
