Doubtful. As I assume there was a mad rush to get him to end them early for far less than their value and bet nobody said theyd refer him to an auction house

Fred, congratulations on getting everything worked out for this pickup. Hopefully selling them won't be as challenging.

Very cool Fred! I too am glad the seller made a bit more than $20 on the cards!

Far be it from me to speak for Fred, but I understand he is marketing them now as private sales. So if you want in, I wouldn’t wait to contact Fred.

Thanks all for your comments.

Yeah these were a SUPER pick up. A great experience.

I want to say PSA was a huge help in getting the cards graded and getting the cards to them and back. Shout out to Kevin and Nat

FYI all four cards have found a new home

Probably closer to the truth.

Congratulations, Fred, on an amazing pick-up.
Plus it is also a great story.
I knew those cards were extremely rare, but I truly didn't know how valuable they are, especially the Mantle.
Once again, congratulations.
