Same SGC 7 Mantle Sold 4 times in 15 months

[Republicaninmass]

My guess would be

Consign the card with an easy 5% back to consignor if not more maybe even 10-15% based on the Auction House

Friend buys the card and consignor pays them the full amount only losing a portion of the BP/ covers their loss


Rinse and repeat until someone overpays
..eventually getting more (last year or so)

Pump up others of similar grade or close to it to dollar cost average

Sell it on Myslabs

Wow. Great result for the consignor. I doubt it’s a fake sale. It’s an auction (not a BIN) from a reputable auction house.

It’s a very pretty example, and a great comp for 52 Topps Mantle owners (I don’t own one)

Yes I agree it’s a real sale. All 52 topps mantles in all grades will go up in value with this sale.

52 Topps Mick remains President of (card)Board. PSA 1.5 in same auction is over $31K, currently within approx 10% of a nicer SGC 1.5 that sold for nearly $35K in Feb.

52 topps mantle is like the S&P 500, over a 10 year period it will be worth a lot more than now.

Maybe someone broke it out and tried to bump it?

I'm going to revisit this in 10 years

[brunswickreeves]

In Q3 2017, PSA Authentic sold for approx $6K, in Q3 2018 PSA 1s sold for approx $9-$10K. So if the next 10 years mirrors the prior 10, and the decades of growth since the 80s, it’ll continue to be a solid investment and simply a joy to own no matter where it trends.

52 Topps Mick PSA 1.5 sells for nearly $35K in HA last night. Same price as in Feb this year. Apparently no lack of demand or premium for Mick’s 52 Topps, despite overall downward trend in collectibles and cards. Happy to see the sky isn’t completely falling.

Most of the narratives around "the sky is falling" or "that sale was fake" with respect to this card (and other high end cards) can usually be explained by eye appeal and expected variance.
