1952 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 3 Available in Complete 1952 Topps Set Break at National

[Snapolit1]

Have asked for a refund now three times, including a direct email to Leighton, and no response.

Seems these guys are hellbent on destroying their reputation on the most influential baseball collecting forum there is. Interesting approach.

I will work diligently to provide a line of communication, including updates and pertinent information from VintageBreaks.com, David and Leighton and provide a regular update (more often if circumstances require).

To reiterate, anyone that prefers not to wait for the break to sell out and wishes a prompt refund, please email Leighton@justcollect.com with your request.

It certainly doesn't seem to be a priority. As a non-participant I am stunned, really, at how badly this has been handled. And it seems with the refund requests the completion is getting farther away, not closer.

I am not surprised.

Not losing sleep over it. Have a lot of friends down where they are.

If its by credit card it would be an easy refund.. Just seeing what they wanted for a slot to me didnt make sense that people would fill up the slots.

I do think you will get paid eventually though if they want to have any type of a reputation

Admitting you made a mistake is what they should have done weeks ago. Everyone makes mistakes. Yanking a lot of people chains is the wrong approach. If you are running a business and can't timely refund a few hundred dollars something is very wrong.

agreed...funny how 'rich' people will take your money but when it comes to pay something back..even a few hundred its like pulling teeth..maybe thats how people stay rich...

Its not like the money was used to buy something, like to pay for a an event that hasnt taken place. it should be real easy to click a few times on the keyboard. Plus if one guy is saying the other guy is in control of the money, why not just pay the refund now to the customer and get the money from that other guy. Why make the customer wait..

If that was their goal it certainly seems they have succeeded. I can't imagine doing business with them ever again. I did not buy into this break when I saw what was being offered. 407 x $350 is over $140k. If they spent close to half of that on the set I would be surprised. And a 30k estimate for an off center PSA 3 Mantle seems pretty ridiculous. I would expect that card to sell for less than 20k, and am confident I could pick up an off center 4 for less.

I hope those who bought in get their money back one way or another.

FWIW, That card, the exact same one, was sold by PWCC on 7/7/16 for $23,600.

I just want to let everyone know that I e-mailed Leighton regarding a refund and he told me it would be refunded by the end of the next business day and he was good to his word, I received a full refund last night.

[Snapolit1]

I received my refund as well.

[shammus]

Seems to me they're going to have to cancel this venture altogether - the people requesting refunds will tack onto the number of slots they're still needing to fill for completion and if they're still a couple hundred slots away from a sell-out before beginning to hand out refunds....

[irv]

When I first saw thread, I was excited, until I looked at the price per ticket!

My take is, the price was way too high. If they had of kept it reasonable, in the $50-$100 range, we likely wouldn't be having this conversation.

Guess I missed that one. Even so this break was announced shortly after that sale. If the price of the break was adjusted down by the same 25% margin that the value of the Mantle was overstated this may have went down differently, and probably would have still left them a nice profit.
