52 Mantle's. Will they sell for asking?

[sflayank]

it is a HUGE drop
if someone really paid 169k
and then sold for 135k...thats with buyers premium
paid 169k then realized 112k
thats a 57k loss 33% approx...not 20
how about the rose rookies selling for 15-18 now selling for 4k 75% drop?
clemente 8s from 50-30
koufax 8 from 30 to last night 9K? wow

i dont think we can compare clemente and rose rookies with the rookie mantle.

just like one low sale cant be 100% of trend...the same can be said with one lone high sale. like you said 'if someone really paid 169k' if you show me 5 cards in a row that sold for 140-160k and the sixth one sold for 100k...thats a lot different to pointing to one sale of a card for an amount that we arent even sure if someone really paid for it\

i posted awhile ago though that mid to low grade mantles were due to fall...its a bit of a pyramid scheme when the buyers of these cards are just going to try the flip them

You mean Bill Goodwin was wrong?
"For the discerning collector or the profit-driven investor, this card should be an automatic. The Koufax rookie card’s climb has been as remarkable as Koufax pitching at Dodger Stadium on a hot summer day. We expect the day to come very soon, when Koufax rookies at PSA 8 will be selling well in excess of $200,000 and perhaps as $250,000."

The word "disingenuous" comes to mind.

Have to agree on that one. That Koufax in an 8 will never, never be a 250k card. There are far too many and not enough demand.

It's trending around $12K right now. I think getting to $20K in the next few years would be an accomplishment.
