Paul SVanessa - no one is giving you "crap" at all. People here assume by your post that you are asking for advice. In this case, it is a good thing we did assume that, because:
1. That is not Mantle's signature, it is printed on the card. It is part of the card. All of these cards have the signature printed. You will not have bought Mantle's signature if you buy this card as it appears on ebay.
2. I see no mention at all of a COA by PSA. I see nothing at all to indicate that PSA ever had this card in their possession. You would not want to take his word if he emailed you or told you on the phone that he had one. If he had one it would be on the listing.
3. I don't see a minimum bid on the card, and in fact the card is not up for bidding at all. Perhaps you meant you made him a "best offer."?
4. The card depicted online is easily worth the $50-75 you offered him, quite a bit more in fact. My question to you is, how does this price go from a BIN of $3,000 to $50-75?
Doesn't any of this make you suspicious?
