I have been looking to purchase a 69T Mantle WL but when I ran across this listing I was amazed. SMR has the graded card at $500 yet the seller says ungraded it is worth $2k. Can anyone explain this or are my math skills really that bad???
Link to Listing
In case my link (first time trying) does not work the eBay item # is 5126617739

    Dave,
    I don't have my Beckett with me, but he's probably quoting high Beckett monthly (and rounding it off to the nearest thousand) in order to create a false illusion that he's offering something better than what he's got. I am shocked that such a thing would happen - this must be a first in the annals of eBay.image

    I guess I am just naieve; I cannot understand why a seller with a high rating/reputation would do this inflating or, conversely, why a seller that does this has such a high rating??? I also believe in the tooth fairy.

    It's called marketing. Haven't you ever read any real estate listings, then actually seen the house that is being described?

    That's pretty funny, Mark. Do you think I can sell some of my vintage commons using Beckett highs rounded off to the nearest thousand?

    The PSA 5 White Letter books for $725.

    That is pretty far from $2k

    I think it is wishful thinking!
