I thought it would be the opposite but what you say makes sense.

I was also thinking after, because this set isn't in the PSA 7 and up grading, that is also likely why it didn't sell for more?

Originally, it just seemed cheap to me considering the price of the cards within, especially the Mantle.

I agree with you, but if it were a deal somebody would have bought it to break it up and flip it. Didn't I see a 52 set break somewhere in the past 6 months or so?
