There's an sgc 3.5 for 21.5, plus my 10%

Speaking of down, I can't remember the last time I saw a 52 Topps Mantle graded as a 2 sell for less than $9k legitimately.

A mere 7 years ago, I was underbidder on a PSA 2 for $4500. Not a lifetime ago. It just seems like they have been high for awhile. The run up is recent.

Nice card but it does have a pretty big crease in his head....sort of generous 2 imo......I would get a 1.5 if I submitted it ....

Leon, I was about to say same, but didn't want to offend the winner of that card...it's also pretty off center. Actually, price seems about right.

[1952boyntoncollector]

also remember some people remark how certain cards were getting '4' money for a '2' but we all know there are many candidates of '2's that with a little bit of polish can be 5s etc.... so to me theres a difference of a card being bought as a '2' to be put on display...or a '2' to just be polished and flipped..

It seems like some people are concerned about this but shouldn't we be happy prices are going down?

I think some folks are more concerned at this point with proving they were right all along or in seeing perceived evildoers take it on the chin. Or both.

It's a 2.5, and in a Beckett slab, with 25 minutes left, and slightly over $9,000.

It's hard to tell, with 100% certainty, due to the many conditions of this card we see, if they are truly coming down, or down much at all, imo. (Of course I am not talking about summer prices)

Thanks, but I'm looking to pick up those beautiful copies where the price is dropping like a rock, and $21.5K for a 3.5 doesn't seem like a firesale to me.

(In fairness to the seller of that card, it's a really nice card with the Babe not in quotes, which is the rarer variety. A 5 went for $43K over the weekend in Heritage.)

I see prices climbing ^^^^^ on the old school stuff.
Did ya see the 1916-20 Big Head W-UNC Babe Ruth on Probstein?
Wow. Didn't know only 3 graded by PSA. I could of swore a board member had one here.
Wonder if its this other guy on Ebay selling his?

WOW! That's a nice example...of a rare strip of a cartoon ruth that looks nothing like him!

Person who drew that apparently had no idea who Babe Ruth was. Scary bad. I have zero artistic skill and could do a lot better.

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

maybe it's Rube Marquard...

[glchen]

Hey, that's one of my favorite Ruth cards! Can't you see the resemblance?
