orioles93

Sorry no card for sale at this moment.

Dboneesq

You need to post a MUCH BIGGER pic for a card that costs so much!

EDITED TO ADD: AND a clearer one!!!!!

orioles93

There we go. Got a big pic up!

Something strange looking about that card.

Big80s

I'll go out on a limb and suggest a back scan, as well.

orioles93

I will try and upgrade the pics within a few days. Sorry if the corners or edges look darker.

Thanks for looking

Shins...flip just sold on eBay
1952 Mantle

MattyC

Great centering. On VCP there is a more natural-looking picture of this PSA 5 Mantle from the prior auction in which it sold. I don't know how to pull the image file from VCP down, but for those that can see it, the card pictured here doesn't seem to match that one perfectly. The scanner settings here seem over saturated. And also when it sold on ebay the picture showed some paper loss on The Mick's neck, which the scan above doesn't show.

But funny thing is the one on ebay seems of Type 1 variety. And yet this one seems like a Type 2.

Ah, MrMint just got it up I see.

Lothar52

yeah whats up with the paper loss in the previous ebay sale and the lack of paper loss afterwards. This card looks similar to a psa 5 that 707 sportscards had in his online store that disappeared as well.

I have not officially made the buy yet. I just agreed to buy it from a man near me. I do not know anything of the previous sales. What does everyone think i should do?

ShootyBabitt

Run away.

Wait....my confusion is growing exponentially....you mean to say you do not even own this card yet but you are offering it for sale?

orioles93

I have agreed to buy it, i just have to pick it up from him in a day or 2. This man needs money so hes giving me a good deal so i can resell it. But with all that im hearing i may call off the deal. I was just trying to gain some interest from some people awhile.

vladguerrero

I'm offering Mike's auto rc collection for sale, well I'm taking offers, then I will work something out with him so I can sell it to someone here.

The opening post says he has the card. Then he does not have the card.


Different bar code on the Ebay flip.

I thought you were trying to sell this card. Now you are looking for help so you do not get screwed.

orioles93

I can tell. Im just trying to get some constructive help and ive only gotten that from a few members here

hhmag70

That card looks great, congrats on getting a deal. Should have no problems making money on it.

orioles93

@cadets
I was trying to find a buyer since i was gonna get the card tomorow. But now with all this info i might not complete the deal now.

Why is this so hard to understand!

Your first post didn't say you were looking for some help. It says, "I have a 1952 Topps Mantle card graded a 5 EX for sale. Price is $17,000 OBO."

This may be the wrong place for whatever you're looking for.

orioles93

Im sorry for confusing everybody.

Get us a good deal Vlad!! It at least has to include some Chicago Pizza, some REAL Mexican food, and a couple of TUMS

After the info you received you "might not complete the deal now"

That is very hard for me to understand. Run fast from this deal. There is no might.

Selling a card you do not own. I do not understand that either.

Trying to sell a fake PSA card on the PSA message board. That is hard for me to understand also. Lots of well informed collectors here, some are also detectives.

So I guess these are some of the things that make it so hard for me to understand.

orioles93

I am running fast. I will not buy this card now. I wouldnt never try to sell a fake PSA card let alone here if i knew all of this information in the first place. Thanks to all the nice members here who gave me some good advice and helped me out.

But you would try to sell a card you say you "have" without actually having the card or even paying for it?

orioles93

I will put up a post later this week once i have everything figured out explaining what happened. Sorry if i wasted some of your time.

For some reason I get the feeling you don't want the detectives doing any digging. Just a guess though.

orioles93

They can ask me any questions they want. I didnt do anything wrong. Im not trying to hide from anything.

corvette1340

Can I buy it before you get it? I can paypal gift you the money and then you can give it to the guy. I'll give $20,000. PM me your paypal address if we have a deal.

Ok, since ive had such as ordeal on here with this post i will just explain the whole story of what happened here.


I agreed to buy a 1952 topps mantle PSA 5 from a man about 45 minutes away from me. The only pic i recieved from him through email was the scan i posted on here. I only posted a card for sale on here before i actually had it in hand because i was trying to find a buyer to make a quick sale so i didnt have my money tied up for a long time. I now realize i should not have done that. After i found out all this info about the other card with the same cert number on ebay i emailed the man. He got back to me saying he had sent me the wrong photo in his initial email. He had sent me a pic of a card a friend of his had sent him a while back and asked him to check out for him before he bought it. He saved it to his desktop but never removed it. He has since sent me a new pic of the actual card i will be recieving from him. This whole confusing episode is all because the person im buying from sent me the wrong photo.

I will make a post later this week, when i actually have the card IN HAND this time.

Sorry and thanks,

Evan

Nothing worse than having a desktop filled with '52 Mantle scans and not knowing which one to send a prospective buyer. This happens to me all the time, so I can empathize with 'the guy who lives 45 minutes away'.

BTW, is the guy who lives 45 minutes away any relation to the deceased grandpas who graciously bequeathed their hordes of ungraded T206 Wagners to Ebayers with fewer than 50 Ebay feedbacks?

orioles93

Not that i know of but then again i dont know him personally.

Sean1125

The concept of trying to have something sold before you buy it isn't foreign.... I've bought several items simply for that reason... It was sold and I knew what I was getting out of it.

It is the circumstances surrounding the above statement that the members are questioning I believe.

Evan, please do not come back to these boards till you turn 12 !!!!!

dennis07

Just curious why you wouldn't drive the 45 minutes to check out the card in person. I am guessing the person will have
your money before you have the card. What happens if the card doesn't show?
Was this a craigslist deal by chance?

Just because you have done it, does not make it right. Way to many problems can occur when selling something you do not own.

This is a great example.

Haven't you have also been burned using this strategy?

orioles93

I did plan on driving and checking out the card in person. I was going to pay cash in person and yes it was a craigslist thing. And now i realize problems can happen when doing this. I dont plan on trying it again. I will make sure i actually have the card first before posting.

itzagoner

one last well-intended very strong piece of advice.

walk away. entirely. this whole shenanigan smells of a setup that will wind up with you getting mugged.

there's no Mantle card out there for you. not from Craigslist.

i fear for your physical health.

come back and post something sensible here. we could use the reassurance.

You do understand that the card you showed was not a real psa graded mantle?

What state are you in?

Maybe we can help you.

Shawn

orioles93

I am in Pennsylvania. I do now realize that the pic was not a real graded mantle.

otwcards

Why are there criminals? Because there are people willing to be victims. Be careful, especially in Pennsylvania...

otwcards

Or just take your uncle...

orioles93

You see, I would have felt something was up if he wouldnt have offered to meet in the middle of a busy mall food court in the middle of the day. I am usually very carfeul about what i do on craigslist when it comes to robberies. I do know that with very expensive items you have to do a little bit of research and be careful. Im happy some people on here gave me good advice about the situation.

orioles93

@otwcards,

Funny thing is i was planning on taking my uncle along with me lol. I wasnt going to go alone.
