1952 topps mantle psa

[MattyC]

Ed,

Did you peep the feedback profile? Not what I would want in the seller of a four-digit card. I'd have to agree with the hunch (which of course could be wrong) that someone who buys at REA is not going to resell his Mantle this way. That said, it's all speculation and we'll probably never know.

I did not know there was little protection for the buyer in that range, nor did I know that when one signs for the parcel and gets the photocopy with the same cert in the later photos of the listing, one is basically screwed. I never dip into waters that have even a modicum of risk, and would not take the gamble on this listing, but good to know-- thanks for sharing that intel.

Best,

MC

I have to quote my wise older brother here. I have been after a '52 Topps Mick all year and have been the under bidder on a few so far. I didn't get to see the auction but I would have passed based on what I am reading here. The feedback would have scared me away from dropping upwards of $5k. At that price point I would need everything to smell like roses!
