Guess The Hammer Price 1952 Mantle

I see the point you're trying to make but doubt the auction results will reflect the board's opinion. 330k for the PSA, 210k for the SGC.

You may be right. I figure this card is so out of the league for most of us, that we really have no concept of what it should sell for. That's why I gave recently realized prices, but it's probably hard for most of us to know which way the market is really going for the high-end material.

You may be right. And it is stupid. Number 2 (if colors sre true as another person mentioned) BLOWS AWAY number 1. In fact, i like both sgc cards much better than the psa. Guys buying holders instead of cards really bothers me.

People are selling 'independent' opinions....if there was no holder every seller would be saying their card is 'mint' would be so many returns..

Well, the PSA Mantle finished at $306,250 in the Goldin Auction. I wonder how the SGC will fair? Nearly everyone seemed to pick it over the PSA example, but I wonder if it will be able to top $306K?

My money says no. PSA, although I hate to admit it, seems to always, (based on what I have seen) come out on top price wise.

Goldin sold #2 two months ago for 180k. Now Goodwin is selling it.and it is at 170k with 2 days left.

Right. But two months ago may be like an eternity in "Mantle Land". What will it bring this time? I'm going to guess less than the PSA example. I'll guess it ends at $227K.

It sells for 169k, the flipper loses money. Also PSA 8 Clemente RC for 42k. If this was a flipper, it would also be a loss.

I wonder if the new owner will try to cross it to PSA and flip it again? Did that card really finish at $137K less than the PSA example? Ouch!

Ouch is right!

I don't have the auction links nor any prior info, but did both SGC cards lose money compared to previous sales?
