1952 Bowman Mantle...this current bidding can't be real, can it?

I suppose someone thinks they can get a bump......to an 11.

[dio]

I'm starting to think the high grade ones will be rich's mans toy, it will soon never reach working individual again

iconic psa 9,10 ultra rich
psa 7,8 normal rich
psa 6. enough to retire rich
from 1-5 is normal working ppl

And sooner or later those great cards will be less and less on the market, those individual will just hold it, they don't care much about the 1-200k when they have 100 million worth

The one last night was a 5 in a 7 holder. An actual 7 would sell much higher. I would never buy a 7 with 3 damaged corners.

I think they are really comparable. Agreed that last night's corners are touched a little more. But the $40K one has a rougher left edge.

Here they are for all to judge. The one on the left sold for $15K. The one on the right sold for over $40K (allegedly).

I'd rather have the one on the left and an additional $25K in my pocket.

In my opinion the one on the left is way worse, a couple bad looking corners and top to bottom centering, the one on the right to me is much better but not at $40,000 plus no way.

Disagree. The corners aren't touched, they are missing. If the 15k is a real sale then 40k is more than fair for a card 2 grades better. I would take the nicer card everytime, though I think they are both over priced.

This was tough to get but I tried to capture the top and bottom up close detail from the ebay listings. It's the only real way to examine the corners, edges, and surface. Here is the top and bottom detail of the card that sold for $15.6K and then the top and bottom detail of the card that sold for $42.6K.

It did suck compared to the 40,000 plus one, that being said the 7 last week was still not worth $40,000 plus.
