Mantles
I bought a 56 topps mantle off Sportsbuy about a month ago for a little less then a $100, I was skeptical but the seller during the course of the auction was pretty cool, and gave me some additional pics etc. and I was able to determine it was not only genuine but in vgex condition.
Turned out to be a steal for me. I think there are so many sites popping up on the net trying to compete with ebay, and sellers are becoming more desperate to move items that you can find amazing deals out there. You find sites like sportsbuy, where the lack of traffic decreases the competition on cards. Forums our pretty golden too.
I am going to check out some local shows in the next couple weeks, I will see what the prices are like on vintage there. Last time I checked out a show in 2005 0r 2006, the dealers where really stubborn. I even got yelled at trying to convince a seller to sell me an eric chavez bowman chrome rc for $5 instead of $8. True Story. Than I discovered pre war and vintage cards.
Sorry for the ramble.
