Auction for "Mickey Mantle 1952"

Here's a completed auction for a "Mickey Mantle 1952" - 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 6. Did the buyer get a grade deal or did he/she purchase a headache?

1952 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 6

The card sold for $10,799.69. A PSA 6 typically runs around $20K to $25K. Couple of things I see make me question the legitimacy of this auction: (1) low feedback; (2) seller is in Canada; (3) auction title is suspect; (4) Paypal protection of $200.00?!; and (5) ending an auction at Thursday morning at 8:03 a.m. - that's a bit odd.

But of course, I'm probably just paranoid; not that I actually had the $$$ to purchase this card anyways; but if authentic, the seller could easily flip for at least a $10K profit. Your thoughts?

    I would have to pick the card up in person. The airfare is probably worth it at that price.
  • If I were to sell an item of this value, Id work some sort of consignment with a seller since I have little feedback yet. You could give a high feedback seller $500 bucks to list it, and still come out way ahead...

    When the auction ended this morning, the seller was NOT NARU'ed. Obviously something happened in the past 1/2 day.
