I just saw this baby on E-bay and though the scan isnt the greatest, I think the card loooks better than a 5, I know thier is probably something I am not seeing here, What is everyones opinion on the grade of this one??

    A card with 3 dinged/soft/worn corners is an EX card. Perhaps that is the reason? this card looks true to the grade IMO.

    The scan isn't good enough to tell anything.

    My guess - the red border area is in better shape and the others under, even a 5X, shows rounded corners.

    The "coloration" of the scan can be misleading us also.

    Looks like a great 5!

    But that fact won't go unnoticed.

    The centering is great the corners dont looked that bad to me, I think if we had a clearer scan we could tell a lot more. I have seen cards graded a 6 that havent looked this good though !

    Classic card, could be a subtle surface wrinkle.

    Here is a scan of my 53 Mantle 5 (personally I think mine is a bit better)
