That's not me reaching or too being a bit sensitive; I don't mind what anyone says about the Mantle. It's just noticing something that's fairly obvious

I cannot control how you or anyone else feels or reacts/responds to things I might post here. I know what my intent was. Clearly you do not want to accept that so you are essentially telling me that I am a liar, which is fine. If someone wants to get emotional over a post, which is a bit irrational, then so be it. I guess that is their...choice but they should be prepared then for whatever comes next.

And to I never even thought my "quip" would have been interpreted any other way than the way it was intended. I honestly felt that we would see an onslaught of listings on eBay and elsewhere of people trying to cash in on the 52 Mantle fervor. It has taken place with the T206 Wagner, signed 33 Goudey Ruths and Gehrigs (some of which may have been signed in the last 2 years) and there are others.

As an aside, maybe the time has come where we should all consider having complete disclaimers at the end of actual posts on "controversial" topics. Might cool some tempers.

These posts have accused people of becoming unhinged, called others absurd, and accused other people of pumping a card. Tone the rhetoric down and there would probably be less of an issue. Or don’t tone it down because that is your right but then understand why some people think those posts are a bit much.

You can go back and verify the sequence of posts and who wrote what. It would be a good idea because you might want to check the accuracy of your current position.

Nobody here accused anyone of coming unhinged until...someone did come unhinged. Until then it was a discussion based on facts about the card that a certain person took offense to. I am perplexed how he could even take it personally let alone that personal.

Anyway, I will assume you are one of the guys who contacted Leon to complain so I am curious why you want to try to mix it up with me.

I did not complain for the record.

I wonder if the recent current AH sales of 52 Mantles SGC and PSA 1-4 grade will continuing have staying power at this high numbers.

I would think short term we might see an uptick in prices on those. All I know is that I had to have a custom logo Tshirt made today and the guy who was being helped when I got there had the Fogel PSA 10 52 Mantle placed on a black Tshirt.

Did you accuse him of "pumping"? Asking for a friend...
