The Mantle is incredible! I wouldn't be shocked if the bidding goes from 65-80K?

which would you want , the gretzky or a high grade 51 bowman set?

Knuckles

Is a new car an option? I would rather have that.

You got it Knucks!

But the Gretsky gets better MPG!

stevek

Excuse me.....I'm drooling.

Knuckles

You're right! and the car will only drop in value not stay or go up.. I'll change my mind.. I'll take the Gretzky!

Stingray

Mantle is at $56,918.

I can't seem to find the multitude of hi res scans...

Or is it possible that there is only 1 tiny scan for a $60,000 card??

Stingray

I had that same issue at work, could not get the bigger scans to show.

I had no problems seeing the high res. scans. The card is absolutely gorgeous close-up.

williplett

Can anyone post a scan of the PSA 10 Great One?

Stone193

The Mantle sold for almost 65K with the BP - I'm not surprised.

One heck of a card.

BTW, I couldn't get the Xippix images to work either - there must be something you have to download?
Or is it the firewall I use?

Stone, you probably need to update your Java VM. You should be able to download it from www.sun.com The xipixx thing is an applet and that may be why you were having a problem...tough to say for sure though.

Knuckles

The Gretzky RC went for $53,084.00!




They also had a game used Gretzky jersey from the 1982-83 season.. It ended for $37,023.00 I think I would rather have that than the RC if I had the money to burn.

Didn't we talk about that Gretsky card? I've seen better 9s!

You can see the yellow dot on his shoulder....

Knuckles

I don't recall bs'n about a psa10 gretz but do recall gripe'n about a PSA 9 and a BVG 9.5

I've shown mine a few times now.. but bah here it is again.

WOW! I have never seen that Gem Mint Mantle before, is that a million dollar card? Awesome. I was expecting more from that Gem Mint Gretzky, the L/R isn't dead on and the rough cut is pretty apparent.

I would have expected more than 121 and 160K. I wonder if Candiotti owns one of the PSA 10's? He seems to own everything else!

Thanx Josh!
I remember now, I used to be able to use that function but couldn't anymore - I went to that web and downloaded the latest version and I can see!

You are the best!

Thanks for the article Stone. Makes me want to call up the Niekro boys and see if they can show me how to throw a knuckler.
