Mentioned this once before in some other thread, but my grandmother actually did find an old Mantle and a Whitey Ford of my dad's about 30 years ago. For no reason whatsoever, she gave the Mantle to my aunt's son (who didn't even like sports) and the Ford to me. The Ford was a '53 Topps in FR-GD condition. I still have it. Never saw the Mantle at all. I'm sure it disappeared soon after, and my cousin has no memory of ever getting it. Have always just assumed that Mantle was also a '53. Since the thought that I could've actually had the cliche "'52 Topps Mantle from dad's childhood collection" isn't fun. |

Mathews!
Struck a deal on this PSA 3 for 2800. The last clean PSA 3 sale was 2700 from a pwcc auction in late March, and I think mine may be a little nicer. Never noticed before that if you accept an offer outside of Ebay's initial "best offer" setting, the sold listings only show the beginning BIN price (overstating the sale). |

Jackie too today.
From a member here. A deal that was equally fair to both sides. Also a lot of the remaining low number commons/minors picked up from a couple other members. I may be outta control The next completion update after I get everything organized is going to look a lot different than the last one! |

Very nice day! You'll be going for the Master set by the fall and then on to the grey backs.

Not sure I understand about what an offer outside of Best Offer means though? Last edited by toppcat; 05-08-2020 at 11:00 AM. |

I meant that instead of the listing having the option to make a best offer, when you write a seller a general message to discuss a possible offer instead (and then they send you an initial offer on their own) |

Ah, got it. I doubt Watchcount can track that unless you agree the final deal you worked out back on the 'bay proper. Watchcount is very useful though for gauging how much of an offer to make. It's saved me a ton over the years.

First, thanks to Ted and Cesar here for helping (mostly) finish off my missing low numbers.
Overall update coming very soon once my last recent order gets here. Tonight, I came very close to a last minute auction bid on a great looking PSA 1.5 Mantle. But did not pull the trigger. It went for $17,300. While I would've been satisfied with having that one for my set, it's just not exactly what I picture for it anymore. As this set has filled in, the overall outlook has changed a little. And for a once in a lifetime purchase, it has to fit just right. The only problem with waiting is (obviously) prices going even higher. But if that happens and it affects what I can get down the road, then so be it. Always been a risk-taker anyway! |
