Question concerning Mantle rookie and seller

[David W]

If I were paying 15K for a card, I'd pay in person and pick it up.

Yes he is somewhat near me, and that was the plan, but I was just curious as to what you guys think. Have you heard anything about this guy, and do you think the card looks legit. Chris

Forget what the card looks like!! If you know he has not played fair in the past and you have a "bad feeling" about it - trust that and stay away. You'll feel much better than tellig yourself "I should have listened to myself. That said - there is no shortage of 52 Mantles out there. I am sure you can find another. Good luck.

Nice! Are you getting them in order? I've thought a few times that it would be fun to get cards from some major player in order, maybe waiting a few months between cards. Sort of compressng the experience of collecting over their career to a few years at most. Ready access to stats would sort of ruin it, and I've never been organized enough.

No, I just always wanted a 1952 Mantle, so I figured while I have the extra cash, I should get one.
