Dan-Dee mantle help?

jimq112

I got this in a collection I bought over the weekend, along with 21 other mantles. None of them are nice, I'm going to send the rest in with a declared value of $75 or less. I don't think any of the others is worth $75.

This one, I don't know anything about. It has a pretty serious crease top left. It's cut just a little off center/tilted too.

I'm thinking psa2. Is that too high? Also any guesses on a value? I put it down for $150 when I was figuring value for the collection. It's a decent card other than the crease.

Thanks for all the advice you guys give!

The scan looks pretty nice; it's hard to tell the severity of the crease, but my guess is a 2 is as low as it would go; you might have a 3 or even 4 there, since the rest of the card looks awfully nice.

I happen to need that card to complete my Dan Dee set and it's going to cost a lot more than a buckenahalf for sure - I'll be looking for one without a crease.

If you valued the card at $150, I imagine you paid only a percentage of that for the card - where else can you get a vintage Mantle that cheap? Good for you.

Last one I need for my set too. I"ll agree with Mark- a 2 if it's a bad day in Tustin, otherwise a 3.

Thanks guys! Here's the crease. It really doesn't go thru to the back, but if you look at the back at the right angle you can see it. I would love to see a 3, just don't want to get my hopes up.

I hate the crease but if it didn't have the crease I wouldn't have the card!

Last year I got $650 for a psa 3 dan dee Mantle. Mine had nicer centering but was toned from the chips. your's looks pretty white. psa 2 or 3 you did good great for $150. tough to say what it would go for as graded ones don't come up much on ebay.

Thanks!

I brightened the small pic of the crease to get it to show better, but the full pic is how it is.

If it was a good buy it makes up for some of the ones I paid too much!

psa may not let that one in with the $75 and under special.
