Link to 52 Mantle

Don't forget to read the Q and A at the bottom both in all CAPS by the way. And people still bid. I'm on the wrong side of this business. But hey you can always buy this card, send it out to be graded, have it returned fake and then send it back to this guy all within 2 days of your receipt to get a refund. image

    That guy needs to tweak the settings on his inkjet. That bogus Mantle looks soooooooo fake.

    And he needs a new keyboard where the caps lock key isn't stuck, so his masturbatory Q&A's aren't quite so obvious.

    He does offer a money-back guarantee if a grading service deems it is a fake. But you have to send it to the grader, get it back, and return it to him within 2 days of receiving it from him. Sounds reasonable.

    I WILL OFFER MONEY BACK ONLY IF IT GETS SENT OUT AND GRADED BY GRADING SERVICE AND COMES BACK REPRINT. IF RETURNING CARD IT MUST BE RETURNED TO ME WITHIN 2 DAYS OF YOU TAKING RECIEPT OF IT. AGAIN NOT LOOKING TO RIP ANYONE OFF JUST LOOKING TO MAKE AN HONEST SALE.

    Well the shilling and the auction in general was reported right after I made the post so we will see how long it takes ebay.

    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY
  • VintageJeffVintageJeff Posts: 1,282 ✭

    I emailed the second guy kimmurphy9 and he was appreciative. He also asked what to look for so I gave him a little education about Mantle rookies and Ebay!
