Just bad luck--Mantle style

[roundtree34]

So I go to the local card shop today to get enevelopes for some mail I have to send out.I usually get a pack or too while I'm their, today as I'm paying I see 2 packs of 09 a&g left in the box, I ask Mark "whats been pulled?" he say's 2 jerseys and a auto so I think their is no more stuff left, well was I wrong a young kid came in and bought the last 2 packs nothing in the first...............................then BAM the kid almost starts crying, jumping up and down looks like he is haveing a heart attack then he shows us what he has, a mickey mantle jersey with 2 pin stripes. the kid turned around and sold it to the card shop for $450.00 cash.

Wow!

Rule #1 for shop owners.

NEVER reveal what has already been pulled from a open box.

$450 in cash? I need to get out of prospecting and start busting A&G.

Why would he pay 450 for a card that doesnt sell for over 150?


I'm calling.......not true


Unless its a 300 dollar premium for a second stripe.

PLUS, I don't see how a second stripe can even fit...
