The serial number on that Mantle starts with a zero, but it has the newer font on the label and the square white box as opposed to the rounded corners of the earlier graded cards. Does this happen when a card is reholdered? Not bashing the auction, just curious how that works.

Bob;

You are correct. The card has been reholdered.

A possible bump from a 8? If so, it probably deserved it.

No - from the old-style holder, reholdered into the new style holder.

You would think based on the value of the card they would give you a larger, clearer scan. Unbelievable.

Looks Nice and Goodwin has been around since the Last Supper.

It looks decent.

This is the same card the sold in a Mastronet auction about 1 year ago. The card realized approximately $47000.

Wow, nice example. And from a reputable seller too.

I remm that mastro auction too.

I wonder what the card will fetch this time around?

The last SGC 96 sold in a Lelands auction for around $37,000 I think. BMW sold one before that for $75,000. I cannot recall that the $75,000 card was that much better but it did sell first.

Fletch1750 · February 16, 2006 2:58PM

I just checked Lelands auctions they never sold a 51 Bowman mantle SGC 96

divecchia · February 16, 2006 5:55PM

I'm guessing about $80,000.

Fletch1750 - Thanks for the correction. I was going from memory. I just checked my database and it was Heritage Auctions from September 2004 that sold an SGC 96 Mantle for $38,240.

Fletch1750 · February 17, 2006 2:53AM

The card sold in August 2005 in Superior for 46000.
