I truly don't get the Mantle. Almost 20K for a 7 that's off top to bottom? For that price you could get all four Goudey Ruths in a nice midgrade.

Yea that doesn't make sense. I remember the dead centered 7 that sold a couple months ago on Heritage for 10k which seemed high but made sense because of the eye appeal. To double that, which as far as I know was an all time record for the card, seems hard to believe to say the least.

PSA 8s were selling for under 20k just a few months ago.

I've heard that rumor too and I think it's urban legend. Guys living off the grid in caves who ONLY bid in Goodwin? Come on.

Rumor or not these sales have me wondering if I should use them for a couple of cards I want to sell.

Sick card. I'm surprised it hasn't shown up yet in the Sept pickups.

I think there are probably many explanations depending on the card.
1. Shill bidding.
2. Sale isn't real, didn't go through.
3. Huge premium for centering.
4. Your friendly neighborhood card doctor thinks it can be worked on and improved.
5. Bidder with lots of money and big ego who just wants to win it.
6. Stupidity.
