[The Detroit Collector]

I honestly don't know why this has gotten so high in price. What's the appeal?

It's the cheapest that one has sold on eBay lately so someone who wanted to fill a hole and didn't want to spend a lot more is probably happy they got it.

The winner is likely both a Mickey Mantle and Leatherface collector.

Thanks. Now I'm picturing an Ed Gein Relic card: the insert nobody asked for.

Like the other thread on this sale, it's almost certainly just a set collector finishing their set on a budget. Good luck finding another 53 Mantle for $611. This is normal, very popular cards in popularly collected sets have their low grade values lifted. Budget set collectors are a lot of the hobby, they just don't tend to post on the boards much, maybe because people like to LOL at their budget or the condition they can afford.

It's most likely set filler, but this is the kind of thing that people with too much money might actually buy as a gag gift for a fellow collector.
