Mantle is a 7 at best with that centering, looks like he hit the corner putting it in the penny sleeve as well (modern collectors who don't handle vintage cards like these guys don't realize that is catastrophic, new cards with coatings are far more forgiving). I see it so often when modern guys venture into vintage, the handling is way, way too careless. They have this "breakers rhythm" I call it where everything is as fast as possible. Jammed into penny sleeves carelessly and then forced down into card savers which you cannot do with vintage cards, sooner or later you will crease a card, vintage paper stock doesn't have the structural integrity to be forced down into a card saver in a penny sleeve with extreme friction.
Guy just turned a $10,000+ pack into $1000 if he's lucky. That doesn't even touch on the history destroyed. By the way, I think this Ed Mathews guy might be good one day. "I don't even know him".

I would say it was a legitimate pack, if someone was going to make a fake pack with a Mickey Mantle on top they wouldn’t have stuck a Steve Carlton and a Eddie Mathews in the middle and would’ve put one of those on the bottom.

I can never buy any cellos of any sort that are old, even wax packs for that matter. The urge to open them takes over all my common sense.
I believe if I had that cello, I would have opened it too. Butch

For the most part I am the same and couldn't resist opening anything unopened I own. I have 2 exceptions. A 1986 Topps rack pack with the Clemens Blue Streak showing in the center. There are only 2 known. Then I have a box of some oddball 80s big ugly Donruss(?) cards I have no idea where or why I bought.

+1,000,000 on that. Makes you wonder how these morons got the money. Probably inherited it, because you can't be that f-ing dumb and make money. These pack openings are unwatchable. Just too painful to watch.

He is also in the process of busting a 1972 box that seems to be largely from the 2nd series, although there are a couple packs from the 1st (he pulled a Fisk) and from 4th series as he pulled a Bench. Since he got a couple money cards, it worked out well for him, but I'd hate to buy what I thought was a 6th series box and wind up with a bunch of 2nd series packs. Plus his comments hoping for a Pete Rose shows he really has no understanding of how these cards were issued or packed, setting aside the fact it seems to be a Frankenstein box. |
