I spoke with him on the phone a couple of times, and was very nice. Only concerned because of the high dollar amount. Any more opinions on the card pics?

Besides the "print flecks" mentioned in the upper right there seem to be some more white spots to the left of Mickey's hat and what look like two small scratches right above his hands, but it could be from the scanner or the holder.

I really haven't seen better centering on a Mantle. Also, the seller is top notch, so I wouldn't worry about problems with any potential transaction.

asking for opinions and doing your homework is good...but when you're thinking of dropping mid 5-figure for a card, the first question shouldn't be is it authentic...you should already know. (not trying to sound harsh or mean)

I agree to the extent that I also found the post a little bizarre under the circumstances. Are the opinions of an internet chat board really going to drive a $30,000+ bidding decision?

This is true, but if you are considering spending that much money it never hurts to be too sure. I don't have to worry about being in that situation unless I win the lottery, but if I was I would rather err on the side of caution just in case.

I am sure, have done my homework, what does it hurt to throw it out on a forum & see if anyone can spot anything I haven't seen yet? (I doubt it) With a card valued this high, why not post this? Thanks for the input

The poster BM8825 is working with the seller, trying to drive up the bidding, promote awareness, or something. Something's fishy with the post. Member just joined Oct 10. Asking somewhat idiotic questions for 30K purchase. Nice try!

Oct 10th would be in the future. Unfortunately it is always a possibility about what you are saying...The questions are rather perplexing given the value of the sale....If I am buying a 30k+ card I am not coming on a chatboard where I know 0 people and asking if it's authentic...from a good seller in a PSA holder..I have to admit it doesn't all add up very well....who knows??

I always get confused on that, because in Canada we list day/month/year. So I'm either born June 12 or December 6, I'm just not sure

Wow, you guys are really making me feel dumb for posting on this website. I found a thread about a week ago on this website, when I was searching google about fake 1952 PSA Mantle's. This seemed like a forum full of knowledgeable people, so I figured that I would join and throw the question out there to see if I would get any feedback. My mind is set on bidding, but I guess from the outside looking in, I can understand why my post seems pretty stupid to some people. I have never purchased something of this high in value, so I guess it makes you do dumb things. Thanks to everyone who left some positive feedback or information about past dealings with this seller.

My response to the people who think I'm working with the seller: If & when I win the auction, I will post a picture of the card so u can see. Other than that I don't know what else to say.

stand next to me, that will make you look smart! I felt dumb here for the first while too, then i realize, i pretty much am when it comes to baseball cards. But i got game when it comes to hockey cards and I am probably the foremost expert on here for Shiny MMA cards.

A fool and their money are soon parted and you did the smart thing by asking. I would ask too if i was plunking down 50k for a card!

So please my friend, don't feel dumb, cause the smartest thing you did was ask... some guys are condescending by accident, as things may seem obvious to them, while not so much to the rest of us!

Welcome to the site, dunce caps are over here, grab a beer, sit down and enjoy the ride!

Jim

This auction will sell itself. Honestly this auction doesn't need to be hyped on a Net54 thread. If someone is in the market to buy a high grade 52 Mantle, they will find the ebay auction. Its not like someone is going to see this thread and then decide to go bid $50, 000 to get this Mantle
