What a difference a few months make

Sales for similar items in same grade just months apart. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Mantle card sells for a lot less second time and star trek box sells for a lot more second time. Crazy when you are dealing with thousands of dollars like these auctions.

    Wow! Huge difference on those. Would have never guessed that big of gap on the Mantle.

    Those exhibits have always been hit or miss. I would not want to be holding the bag on the recent Gehrig and Ruth sales.

    Four lethally sharp MINT corners

    I think this is the first time I've ever seen "that" attribute to corners.

    I like it.
