Probabbly the best looking PR 1 Mantle in existence!

[@willzsportscards]

Good stuff as always Chris! I went after that gold Freddie but lost it. FYI a red freeman refractor also just sold.

[@SurprisedPingu]

I think that was a really astute purchase on the Mantle PR1. The centering is dead, the color is so rich and vibrant. 99% of the card shows like a PSA 8 which is 7 figures.

[@ImGigantor]

Nice eye appeal, but it looks like there is a noticeable crease that runs across the card. Just above his hands and across his neck. Can't tell if it goes all the way across, but probably does. Give me the VG3 in better lighting TBH.

[@catdaddy2643]

@@ImGigantor crack it resubmit?

[@ricecakejohnson]

That is soooo sad about that PSA 1 Mantle RC, cause if it wasnt for that super small pinhole, that card had a decent chance at being an 8 or higher.

[@BeautifulBCHomes]

That pinhole card shouldn’t be a 1.

[@davidlapointe7446]

Pinhole mantle looks way way better. Thanks Chris for the great videos!!

[@tampahomeinvestorsllc7559]

The three pack fresh Gretzky RC’s seem like a steal to me for that price, plus the other sealed packs.

[@stevengallant6363]

Really good deal. Especially that they were PSA slabbed.

[@arresthillary9502]

that 2nd Mantle rookie is creases across his neck and right of his neck

[@thomascourt4935]

That crease probably happened while the card was pinned to something.

[@tampahomeinvestorsllc7559]

Good catch, I didn’t notice those.

[@colinburroughs9871]

11k for a common 72' no matter the grade is silly and well, there's more adjectives for it, but I guess I'm just glad it ain't my cash.

[@Bradydog-in7ut]

P.S!-I love the postcard! You should always throw a different high end collectable in the honorably mention catagory! Very cool!

I like the look of that CJ Stroud, gives me early 2000 Topps Rookie Premiere vibes. I’d take the MM PSA 1!

[@philipmachemer5625]

The Mantle with the pinhole is a pretty cool card. I would likely choose that one.

[@freshsqueez]

Brady never played in the minors, just drafted by the Expos in 95

[@jamesmackey1229]

Thanks for putting out these top ten videos Chris, always enjoy them. I would choose the Mantle with the pinhole/ 1 grade. I thought I read that the pinhole automatic 1 grade rule was softening and some pinhole cards had recently received a 2 grade. If so, that card could reasonably be graded 2, in my humble opinion.

[@rodneyhickman598]

I would definitely take the Mantle with the hole in it. Could you imagine the value of that card without a hole in it?

[@brandonbrooks898]

So many of these Jordan fleer rookie cards that get a psa 10 are usually off center. Drives me nuts lol

It wouldn't be a high rollers without the 🐐Ken McMullen

[@ASMRPeople]

I honestly like the 3. Although the 1 has slightly better eye appeal the 3 looks nice too. The seller of the 3 would have done himself a favor by turning up the brightness on that photo.

Pinhole on the Mantle = Ouch...

52 Mantle PSA 1 all day, every day. Way better eye appeal and dead nuts centering. Buy the card, not the grade... beautiful.

[@ryanthompsonthompson820]

I love this series😃

[@Bradydog-in7ut]

The problem with buying boxes of 2004 “Ultimate” is there are a lot of high end cards that came as redemptions. Of course you can’t redeem them today. Can you imagine pulling a 3 or 4 signature card to get burned because it’s a redemption? There’s no doubt in my mind that the Mantle grade “1” represents itself better than the “3”. I’ll take the pinhole and enjoy the he front of that one! Lastly, I knew I should have save my Gary Gentry cards!!

[@DavidMoonForge]

Lol, the Brady card is a head swap on Darrin Fletcher.

[@tubenachos]

😂 All those 2023 BC Brady sellers are laughing all the way to the bank. For me a photo on a card and the back story matters. Brady played ZERO meaningful baseball AND the pic on the card was photo shopped from Darrin Fletcher's body 😂

[@nabzy28]

When I see sealed product from highly desirable years, at this point, I always wonder if they've had it since release and - in the case of the '03-'04 NBA UD Ultimate Collection - if they could have traded it for a house 3 years ago. ( Mantle PSA 1 all day.)

[@jude999]

Auction houses take 25-40% and most don't ship; you have to arrange it, and you pay starting at $75 for a thrid party shipper to pick it up. On one auction I won where they do ship, they shipped a valuable photo in a thin bubble mailer, it got crushed by USPS and auction house would not refund me.

[@collectorinvestordealer]

If the Jordan had been sold on PWCC, the seller would have paid ~10% in fees. If it had been sold on Goldin, the seller would have paid ~15% fees.

[@richardbianco9674]

Most auction houses have buyers premiums which cover fees. They aren't taking a big chunk from the seller like Chris mentioned

[@marckreisbord8954]

Hey Chris, I have a question. In an earlier video you mentioned T206 Factory 42 cards. Does the premium apply for both Piedmont & Sweet Caporal? I love your content! Keep up the great work!!

[@collectorinvestordealer]

Its a massive premium for the piedmonts. I think the sweet caporals, its just a minor premium.

[@pnrayIII]

Something seems fishy to me about the packs with the Gretzkys. I have a hard to believing the seller held onto these packs knowing he had 3 Gretzky rookies this whole time and didn't open them. And doesn't this price seem low if these lot is actually legit?

[@t206kid]

[@ACD1994]

@5:31 Seems like a pretty risky gamble, for 30 thousand dollars. Yes, true the Stephen Curry, is a big money card, but realistically they would probably have to pull more than one to make good profit, assuming also it come back in a 10. A 9 would be fine, too. But with PSA, you just never know, a matter of luck with the grader IMO. BTW Chris, are you going to be attending the Silver Spring card show in February, or any of the other future shows? Hope to see you around.

I think I’d buy the Mantle PSA 1 it looks so much better and clean and crisp! Question For Chris, would you crack the 3 packs with the Wayne G. And try to grade the cards or keep them in the packs with the grades they have? I guess 1 more question would it be worth in the packs or as a single? Which I guess those 3 cards/packs is what makes the value of the lot. But there’s still a small chance the others have a Wayne G.

[@collectorinvestordealer]

Not sure what I would do! More inclined to leave them in the packs and sell that way than to open.

I wouldn’t call the 52 Topps Mantle PSA 3 a high end example for the grade bc I just prefer a pack fresh example to one w significant toning. But if u don’t mind the toning then I guess u could call it a high end example, to each their own

[@Rebel_Scum1]

I don't think brady was ever in an expos uniform, thats photoshopped by topps.

[@ghill628]

Why would the seller cover the serial number of the Bird/Magic rookie card in the picture? That just seems odd to me.

[@TheRealWarez]

To make it less likely someone uses that serial number on fake slabs... Once the grading company catches on, they deactivate the number, forcing the owner to send the card back in, have it re-evaluated, given a new serial #, and have it sent back... a lot of risk in that situation for the real owner.

[@ghill628]

@@TheRealWarez Okay, but doesn't that make it easier for someone to fake a slab? When I look at purchasing a slab the first thing I do is check the serial number. If I can't check it then essentially the slab is worthless, to me at least. Sorry, I just want to verify the serial number matches the slab & if I can't do that then I'm going to avoid the card like the plague.

[@llamedica]

When you say the RH was probably not a legit sale, do you mean the buyer made an offer that was accepted and probably did not pay? Or is there another situation I am missing? And curious, how would you ship a $150k card? Via armored truck? :) There is no way I could put that in the mail and sleep at night.

[@collectorinvestordealer]

There is a decent chance that it was manipulated somehow or perhaps the buyer did not pay. I dont know that for sure.

[@RichardRennes]

That Henderson looks like it was laser cut from an uncut sheet. It has a "bowing" to it, like all sheet cut cards do. Plus, only BVG was grading sheet cut cards back then. The odd one slipped through from PSA and BGS, but not too many.@@collectorinvestordealer

The Croft's Cocoa cards are very rare and often have bleed through from the back on the front. But that is the worst I've ever seen. I watched the auction, having seen all the other graded versions of this card and couldn't believe it was graded a 3, and people were basically bidding on the grade. It went up several thousand dollars in the last minutes. It is awful example of a Wagner card. Also, possibly the worst E92 Croft's cocoa I have seen. IMO.
