Got to love the pumpers.

Who needs to “pump” a 52 mantle? It’s been the most sought after and valuable post war card since I remember buying my first Beckett in 1986 lol. I’d say it’s a relatively known quantity at this point. I’d say Matt knows all those two facts about it not being a rookie and it being a DP as does 99.9% of the hobby participants of this board. Bottom line is this was a great example of a great card that brought out some heavy action.

That it no longer needs the pumpers to keep escalating doesn't seem to stop them from getting upset by anything said about the card that is factually correct but does not serve to pump it.

Nobody has said anything against this card that is not factually correct. It is a DP. It is not a rookie. No one has criticized Mantle whatsoever. For the tenth time in this thread, nobody has said it is not a great example of a great card that would and did bring out big bucks.

Agreed. Been the most sought after card since I sent in a $75.00 check mail order to Larry Fritsch in 1974. Got a Koufax Rookie and a $25.00 credit memo. Only had to pay 200 times that in 2019 for a short print, non rookie, LOLOL It wasn't short print Triple cheeseburger logo man patch autograph prizm panini sandwich metal cracked ice reflection chrome purple rainbow parallel base 1 of 1 PSA 10
