Pretty card for the grade.

I was using an app called Market Movers, but perhaps it is missing some sales since they don't have the ones in the screenshot there. What tool are you using so I can check that one out? Thanks!

Mine showed last 5 dales between 1035-1320 which is why I made the comment, no worries though since the card was sold!

As the very happy buyer of this card, the biggest source of information when it comes to what is selling and how frequently, the largest marketplace bar none is ebay, so using ebay past sales for the past 30 days or 60 days tells you what you need to know. Sure, I didn't force the seller to pay ebay fees, but I also got a great looking 3 at a very fair price. I've bought from the seller also previously so had no issue paying PPFF.

In my humble opinion, I think there is an ingestion problem with vintage data into Market Movers as the app was developed by and for the flipper community of new sports cards and that's where they seem to spend the most of their resources and vintage is merely an afterthought...

A 56 Mantle is and has always been an iconic card, and could be the most transacted Mantle due to shear demand (more affordable than 53 and 52 while the most famous, is out of the reach of many of us at this point). A raw EX-EXMT copy from GMC sold the other night for over $4K. I like my card and my price much better all things considered.
