Ohh how the mighty have fallen... $750 to $135

[Pinbreaker]

I pulled this card back in 2003 and immediately put it on EBAY.. It sold for $750 and change..

I bought back another one on a $200 BIN a few years later as they are a nice card to have..

Well this one just closed.. $135.26 (Yeah, I know there are 3 roiders on here)

Great card, i just hate the indention thing on mantles bat!

 

[blanning71]

I would love to pick that up for that price! Even if they are roiders, I still remember the hype on that card and it still holds a special place for me. Mostly the Mantle piece on the card.

There are some of these numberd /25 as well.. They are the Gold version.. which probably get about $400 now.. if that

 

[uniquebaseballcards]

Interesting. But I wonder how many cards that are five years old now get as much now as they did when they first came out?

but to drop from $750 to $135?

LOL, I pulled the exact same card in 2003 also, sold it for $475 or somewhere in that range. I distinctly remember the ones numbered to 25 were selling in the $750 range so you got really lucky to get $750 for yours.

EDIT: BTW this was my copy

I remember what the price guides looked like back in 1997 - 1998 - a huge ouch from an investment standpoint. I guess the same with regard to prospecting?

Yep I remember selling one of those for $400ish a few years back. Crazy.

Bonds & Sosa will have that affect on a card.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Well, 1 - it's game used. GU has taken a tremendous fall over the past 5 years.

2 - the GU is boring GU -- plain swatches and bat pieces.

3 - Sosa, Bonds and McGwire . . . these guys couldn't be more cold.

I'd sell all day at $135 if I had the card.

Ture, but i'd rather have a more visual appealing card than a blank square

That's just me though.
