PSA 7 Koufax now a 3K card??

mantle cards have always been popular and will remain in demand.

i personally don't think it's weird that someone bought up a bunch of nice ones and that there's absolutely no conspiracy here.

and still not convinced of some buying group out there. the prices that have gone up are completely across the board, on every level and cover every faucet of the sports cards arena. not just ryan, rose, clemente, koufax, etc.

it's bond/mcgwire tiff rcs, 86-90ish fleer basketball cards and boxes, key rcs and short prints, just about any centered card, cards that break the grade (leon's robinson, the 52 mays), football and hockey cards, don't know about much modern but from briefly pursuing those sections the same explosive growth is happening there as well.

maybe people are noticing and crediting that it's a viable platform to park some money while having fun doing it. or maybe the hobby is simply just healthy. and of course if someone sells something and makes a bunch of extra $X....what's he probably gonna do w. a lot of that $X? hopefully save some of it but probably dump it right back into something else...

High grade Mantles have always been in demand. Interest rates are low, and people are scooping them up.

No conspiracy. No BS. No shenanigans. Collectors want Mantles. Has that ever NOT been the case?

I've seen real high selling modern card rookies like patches etc come tumbling down.

Just notice a McKinnon patch, 1 of 5, that was sold for $4500 come tumbling down to below $400 recently on E-Bay.

I am not sure about vintage hockey, but I believe they have also, for the most part, seen some increases but not to the extent of baseball.

Forgot to keep watch, but how did you make out with you Gretzky RC?
See a PSA 10 is now, or is coming available, on Goldin.
It will be interesting to see how it pans out but I personally don't see that card being a 10.

now go back and reread this thread pete. bread crumbs were certainly left everywhere and in every thread.

nothing but the truth was stated. i can assure you these cards wont be back up for sale anytime soon.

no one else bought them and they all were 100% legit sales...here they all are along w/ some that didn't get spotted:

****IMAGE POOF****

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!

Ignorance is bliss, but at least you're having fun.

Carry on.

shocker.

more vague statements backed w/ zero proof or evidence of the malarkey he's spitting...

"the apple doesn't fall far from the tree"

"a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

these make your claims completely true, right?
