I don't get it. Who in their right mind would bid on it, when the seller is stating in these cases that THE CARD IS A REPRODUCTION. I don't get it, w the holder, etc either. I guess Im tired, preoccupied, bleary, or whatever, but what in blue heaven is going on here?

Who knows. I doubt anyone here would touch it.

I will say, however, I have a friend who owns a sports bar and has a whole bunch of reproductions on display. Stuff that the "casual" viewer wouldn't recognize as such. This would be a perfect item for him. Being that it's (supposedly) in a PSA holder brings some (false) legitimacy to it.

Nice way to display something "valuable" without worrying about the risk of it being stolen.

Now, wait a second, if I spend "$1,925.00" on a '52 reprint Mantle card. It is now valuable from my point of view and I wouldn't want it stolen. Not to state the obvious, but if I spent that amount of money on a reprint. I'm planning on flipping-it for a profit. Legitimately or not.

Lovely Day...

Oh sorry - I was talking more about the first one posted that I thought was going for less than $25.

I can't explain why anyone would spend even that, let alone hundreds or thousands, on a reprint.

card as the one from seller tbh39, although the cert # is the same. Looks like the flip is a fake with a real cert#.
