Am I the only one that thinks the OP never implied that the two Mantles were the same card?

they are obviously not the same card...as the 2nd one has fatter left border.

PWCC scan is awfully shiny.

"*Ebay for $8,700 and here's the 1956 Mantle SGC 8.5 (new holder) that was just sold on Ebay by PWCC for $15,656 (just by slapping a little HE sticker on the card)"

Apparently it was not just by slapping an HE sticker on the card, it is a different card

Yes it's a different card. Is the PWCC-HE worth $7,000 more ??

Yes to the person that bought the card and 4-5k-6k more to any applicable underbidders...there is no way for us to know the card is HE without them telling us so its a valuable service

I was worried that we didn't have a PWCC thread up in at least a week, I'm glad we have one now.

I read it that way too.

Well....he said "(new holder)", which could either be taken as "the card is in a new holder", or "here is my original card in a new holder".

Just to clarify...the top card was MY SGC 8.5 that sold on Ebay for $8,700
The bottom card is a DIFFERENT SGC 8.5 that sold through PWCC for $15,656

Sorry for any confusion
BTW....re slabbed cards are given the same SN

Well, I know we are splitting hairs here, but the PWCC high end one, DOES appear to be a bit better. Is it DOUBLE the money better? I don't think so. PWCC seems to have a cult following though, which translates into higher prices.

Although the OP has clarified his post, I read it assuming it was the same card in a new holder with a high end sticker added. I did not examine the cards closely enough to notice the difference.

I didn’t know it was a plug for the PWCC hi end sticker but wanted to point out that two different cards can sell for different prices based upon eye appeal.

Does anyone know the credentials or hobby experience of those giving the hi end sticker at PWCC??

I hope it’s more than they stayed at a holiday inn last night but am not sure. ��

Pretty much any card I want to sell over ~$200 goes straight to PWCC. I've had cards miss with them before (in fact, I just had a couple auctions close yesterday for less than I had anticipated), but for the most part, using PWCC is a no brainer. They get better prices and deal with all the headache of listing/sending out cards.

I used to list my high end stuff with auction houses like Heritage or Goldin, but even after negotiating with them to get the commission inline with PWCC, they still don't get the same attention/pricing for my cards that PWCC does. Moving forward, I think I'm going to list even my high end cards with PWCC and forego the traditional auction houses. The other benefit of PWCC is that you can send in cards monthly. Many other auction houses only have seasonal auctions, so you're stuck waiting around.
