Such a Sweet Deal

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 3:21AM

Well I am trying to buy a beautiful Mickey Mantle collection that many people are after but luckily I live the closest to the seller, but have not received a location nor time. I really hope that I can execute this deal, just look at these cards:

I have a bad feeling about this deal because it seems too good to be true and I have terrible luck

PoppaJ · July 4, 2008 3:27AM

Nice cards indeed....

Care to share the deal that's to good to be true?

OAKESY25 · July 4, 2008 3:47AM

WHAT IS THE PRICE TAG?

VitoCo1972 · July 4, 2008 3:53AM

I would crack and resub about half of those - esp the 54 Bowman, that's a PSA 7. Anyone know where the picture in the 55 Bowman was taken? Must be a long defunct ballpark.

nam812 · July 4, 2008 4:03AM

<< I would crack and resub about half of those..... >>

But not the 1952 Bowman or the 1953 Topps, unless you want 5's.

kingraider75 · July 4, 2008 4:04AM

graded is always nice!

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 4:04AM

Well just because you asked nicely, the price tag is 2500. Unfortunately since today is July 4th, I cannot get any cash from the bank so this will delay the deal a bit

123Slider · July 4, 2008 4:06AM

If the cards are real, and the price is 2500, they won't be there tomorrow....

mickeymantle24 · July 4, 2008 4:14AM

Yes, all those Mantles in that high of grades that is a steal for $2500!

KbKards · July 4, 2008 4:25AM

Let me guess, Craigs List?
The second step after learning not to buy cards in third world holders is to make sure you're buying SGC, PSA and BVG cards from a real person who owns the cards they're trying to sell you.

Several of those cards including the 55, 56, 57, 61, and probably more, all just came out of Heritage's May auction.

Good luck on this one.

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 4:28AM

Thanks guys but like I said this deal is too good to be true and I am not lucky enough to be the triumphant purchaser

WinPitcher · July 4, 2008 4:33AM

Why do I feel a tugging on my leg?

Beat me to finding it.

WinPitcher you feel this tugging on your leg because you have never and will never trust me...

KbKards · July 4, 2008 4:40AM

May 08 Heritage sale prices of the exact cards offered to you
1955 sale price 2868
1956 sale price 1075
1961 sale price 956

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 4:41AM

1952 Bowman PSA 6

Was going to go down the list. Started with the first one and it was there too. Do not feel like searching the rest. Almost 100% sure they all came from Heritage.

BTW, nice handful of thread topics you have started out with here.

bishop · July 4, 2008 4:42AM

Steve....better a tugging than a hugging

Ladder7 · July 4, 2008 4:43AM

Godfather, The '55 Mantle was shot at Shibe Park.

WinPitcher · July 4, 2008 4:44AM

No Arog that is simply not true, however 2500.00 for all those cards is BS.

The 52 Bowman and 53 Topps should go for that alone.

add in ALL the others and if you were in fact told 2500.00 for the lot then
someone is trying to scam you.

You may be unlucky if you go through with this deal.

Steve

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 4:47AM

Well we shall see, I have said this deal is too good to be true and if the seller and his goons try to mug me, I always keep the good ol peacemaker within reach

KbKards · July 4, 2008 4:51AM

More sales from Heritage auctions for exact cards you were offered.
1957 June 15 2008 $776
1953 Oct 2007 $1673
1952 June 8 2008 $1195

I'm bored.

<< Well we shall see, I have said this deal is too good to be true and if the seller and his goons try to mug me, I always keep the good ol peacemaker within reach >>

Just because this is getting out of hand. Look at the auctions we have linked, then the serial numbers. Then say to yourself, "Hmmm, what are the chances that this guy bought all of these cards for $12000 and is now wanting to sell them to me for $2500???"

There, now I feel better if something happens to you....

WinPitcher · July 4, 2008 4:56AM

lol, he may really have been offered them. I suggest he pass on them though.

Steve

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 5:05AM

ok 123slider if my tragic story shows up in the paper of me being torchered and killed you will just laugh right?

nam812 · July 4, 2008 5:07AM

<< WinPitcher you feel this tugging on your leg because you have never and will never trust me... >>

Corporal Agarn here has been around for about a month, which is a little after Gary got booted, but that statement makes it seem like he and Steve have history. Unfortunately I really think this dope is Gary.

nam812 · July 4, 2008 5:07AM

Spells like Gary too.

If that is the case, then I take back any concerns I had.

Corporal Agarn was a character from F-Troop, a troop you surely would have been made the general of.

Goot · July 4, 2008 5:40AM

<<

They are nice people when you are willing to actually listen and give their advice and evidence some consideration. It doesn't mean anything to you that all of the cards were sold individually a little bit ago for half of the price of the entire lot?

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 5:55AM

I just mentioned in another thread regarding 89 Fleer Griffetys that I too thought this dude was Gary.

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 6:24AM

nice people eh? Am I supposed to accept that they are accusing me of being a past member who was banned and constantly insulting me with no means to help? This is just a pecking party, once someone like me is injured, everyone just pecks away at me.

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 6:33AM

In another thread you say you have no idea who Gary is but on this one a few minutes later you say you know that Gary is a past member that has been banned?

Edit: Just realized the two posts referred to above are less than 2 minutes apart on 2 different threads

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 6:45AM

Yes at 12:07 i figured out that Gary was banned. Do you guys seriously have nothing better to do with your life than make up conspiracy theories? Get a life

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 6:46AM

Friday July 04, 2008 2:19 PM (NEW!)

Who is Gary???

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 6:53AM

What is your point? All I know is he was a former member who was banned, I would like to know more about him.

This is so rediculous in every single post you try your hardest to piss me off, as i asked before, don't you have something better to do?

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 6:55AM

Not right now. Just having a few cold ones.

Just trying to show you lied again.

It seems half the cast of Lord of the Rings has joined in the last 30 days. Gandalftheplifter and onlytheEnts can't be far behind.

<< Well we shall see, I have said this deal is too good to be true and if the seller and his goons try to mug me, I always keep the good ol peacemaker within reach >>

Aragorn,

you started this post with a quest for suggestive help and opinions ....

and in return you received some pretty good replies ....

then after a bit of research by a couple of clever board members, it appears as if you are either being totally duped,
or that you're making up this whole story.

I'm not judging you, I'm just confused.

Help me understand why you would even think someone would make a deal like this.

Are you that naive or desperate to think no one else would have jumped on the deal before you if it were legit?

The cards would either have to all been stolen from different buyers; or if obtained by one person: he would have to be a complete idiot to want to sell for less than he paid, as mentioned before by 123slider.

And then you mention something to the effect that you're going to take your "good ol peacemaker" with you when picking them up?

Who gets himself into a situation like that????

If I were you, considering your card-collecting tactics, I would stick to eBay or card shows for any future purchases.

Let us know where you stand with your quest for this golden treasure.

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 7:23AM

ok wow we are taking the peacemake comment way too seriously, I am sorry that I offended any liberals

dan8402 · July 4, 2008 7:27AM

+1 for trolls, the gifts that keep on giving

44Magnum · July 4, 2008 7:28AM

Forget the Mantles. I have a T206 Honus Wagner PSA 8 that I will sell you for $5K...

This could be the start of a whole new thread!

How about:

AragornTheBold · July 4, 2008 7:40AM

Magnum I am sending you a PM about the Honus Wagner card, I am very interested

lsutigers1973 · July 4, 2008 7:45AM
