Anyone seen this guy opening a sealed 67T cello pack with Mantle on top?

Mantle is a 7 at best with that centering, looks like he hit the corner putting it in the penny sleeve as well (modern collectors who don't handle vintage cards like these guys don't realize that is catastrophic, new cards with coatings are far more forgiving). I see it so often when modern guys venture into vintage, the handling is way, way too careless. They have this "breakers rhythm" I call it where everything is as fast as possible. Jammed into penny sleeves carelessly and then forced down into card savers which you cannot do with vintage cards, sooner or later you will crease a card, vintage paper stock doesn't have the structural integrity to be forced down into a card saver in a penny sleeve with extreme friction.

Guy just turned a $10,000+ pack into $1000 if he's lucky. That doesn't even touch on the history destroyed.

By the way, I think this Ed Mathews guy might be good one day. "I don't even know him".
