The best looking PSA grade 1 Mickey Mantle ever

davbec

I just received my first ever PSA graded cards. I thought the Mantle would have scored a little higher than a 1. But I bet it's the best grade 1 mantle around.

Why exactly is that a 1?

in the upper right hand corner there are two tiny, itsy, teenie pin holes.

I sure would like to find a 52 mantle like that lol

Pinholes will do it. Strange that multiple creases, rips, and a Hitler mustache drawn on Mick's face would grade the same, but there you have it. "Through-the-card" damage is considered fatal, no matter how small.

Just out of curiosity, what did the card go for? To me...it's a beauty! The pin hole is very small.

I bought it many years ago. I think I paid $20 - $40 for it.

Stapling cards to a bulletin board is an excellent way to avoid corner wear. That card is the perfect example.
