Need some help with a Mantle auto value

cwazzy

I'm considering selling this in order to raise funds for a purchase. It's numbered to 1,952 and was put out in the early to mid '90s (I don't remember the company off of the top of my head). I'd only sell if it would pay for a majority of my purchase so that's where you guys come in. What do you think it's worth? I know I talked to someone about it a couple of years ago but I don't remember who it was for sure (LSU maybe?) or what value he placed on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Chris ... First I think you need to tell us who authenticated the signature before anybody can begin to give you a FMV.

It's not authenticated but comes with a COA (I think Scoreboard, which I think has some bad stigma attached to the name but I'm hoping I'm wrong). It was a mail order item and I don't remember exactly where my dad got it from. I'll look when I get home and see if I can find any other info.

Chris ... if it has a COA then it's authenticated. Not too sure if the Scoreboard Authentication is going to be in your favor. Luckily I never bought from them, but there are some horror stories around about them. Even still, I am sure many of their items are good ... problem is, which ones?

You MAY want to list it on eBay with a real high BIN and then request an opinion from PSA. I believe they charge less than $10 for the opinion.

That's a good idea. Thanks for the tip!
