The 1.5 Mantle is outstanding for the technical grade.

This is it and there are some head-scratching bargains. First are the vintage basketball rookies. I know the market on these has cooled down but the Chamberlain, West and Alcindor rookies are at a small fraction of the price they sold for in the Spring.

Sets are doing OK but the 1961 Topps is lagging far behind. You can take the lead on the whole set for less than the price of the high number All-Star Cards!

Also the large autographed pieces, most of which are professionally framed, haven't even covered the cost of the framing yet! The Indians 1948 piece with World Series stub is insane it includes Tris Speaker's autograph for you Pre War sticklers! Also forgot to mention above the first issue of ESPN the Magazine with all four signatures including Kobe!

Ya, that grade is stupid. It's more like a 3.5

Well we had it pegged at a very nice 2.5, but the point remains it is a gorgeous card regardless of the number put on it, and we got paid a fairly gorgeous price.

Thanks everyone!

I really wanted that one. I tried my best. But alas, I gave up on 2nd place. I still think the winner got a good deal on it though. I wonder how much higher they would hand gone. I valued it at around 55k.

Anyone here win the Mantle?
