52 Mantle's. Will they sell for asking?

The 7 very possibly close. It's priced in line with relevant sales and Tony certainly has the clientele.

I am not familiar with, Tony. I assume the cards he has for sale are consigned?

I wish these were under the normal auction process rather than the BIN format as these would be fun to watch.

I don't see any problem with the asking prices. As Matt said they seem in line with previous sales. If anything a nice 7 for under 200k seems like a relative bargain.

As linked in my prior post a very nice (if not quite centered) SGC 7 just sold in Goodwin for well less than half that. 87K.

And a SGC 6 couldn't even get a 40k opening bid. Are we seeing a price correction on the 52 Topps Mantle?

I am waiting to see the spin from the folks who think a 7 is a 200K card before commenting.

A 7 should be a $550K card. Wasn't there a PSA 4 or 5 that was listed on eBay a while back for 250K?

Plus that 7 is not in a PSA slab and not centered.

Maybe on higher end examples there is a selling correction is taking place, but lower end copies seem to be selling for as much if not more than they were this past summer. A PSA 1.5 sold a few weeks ago for $14.5k via PWCC.

Lately, the SGC examples have been selling for less than their PSA counterparts.....very recently two SGC 2.5s sold for $14k and less. Perhaps the correction is only on SGC copies and not PSA copies....maybe it is time to buy SGC and send to PSA.

On the lower end the prices seem to have more to do with the cards presentation than the grade.

His clientele likely will buy from him direct then.

All 3 have ended. I assume that is inconclusive if they sold or not?

[Republicaninmass]

Some if these, like similar cards, are just to prop up the laurels of a consignor, and the asking price of the card. Any serious buyer would go directly to the seller

Probably sold off ebay, I would guess.

Dunno if they sold but this one, http://www.ebay.com/itm/1952-Topps-3...c2m&rmvSB=true he had listed in Aug and I was informed it had "sold" in Sept or Oct only to reappear and now disappear again. No record in VCP but the sale was supposed to have taken place on ebay. If he got his price I would say he did very well.
