REA '52 Mantle 8.5

PaulMaul

Just enjoying the REA catalog as usual....and I wondered what's going on in the lower right hand corner of the 8.5 Mantle's inner well...has anyone seen anything like this before?

Maurice

The PSA logo?

PaulMaul

Oh, is it just a reflection of the PSA logo that makes it look like it's in front of the corner of the card?

Maurice

Yeah.

Speaking of REA, whenever I see a Boston Garter card for sale (or the current panel up for auction) I always wonder why collectors would pay 50-100K for basically a drawing of a dude in his underwear.

I think there are a collector who refers to himself as 'we' who absolutely loves these cards. I understand they have loads of money as well. Whilst I'm not an expert of the hobby, I can look up to them in awe.

I don't collect '50's cards, I only just realized how different the PSA holder is for the oversized cards. The PSA logo does actually overlay a portion of the card. That would annoy me if I collected these.

Because they are neat? Wish I had more and I love the panel of them in REA. I received a generous offer for this one a month ago but have no desire to sell it...I think they are great cards.

And on the subject of the '52 Mantle in an 8.5, another great, great card.
