In your opinion does the back of this card look like it would prevent this card from crossing over to a PSA 7? The Front is without question well centered and clean, Im not sure how much the back would effect the crossover. Thank You

Looks a little top and left.

I'd love to see the front

if you have it in hand make sure there is some red at the top on top of the ball. if not it may get an MC

maybe. glad I could help.

The bottom left has a touch of white but looks nice to me.

Heck,

Go for the7.5! I think you have a 50/50 shot crossing. Are you gonna break or cross slabbed?

I think this should cross to a PSA 7.

Dang nice card man.

I only wish I owned it! Honestly I am so close to busting out my credit card and buying it. $3875 is the price.. The back scares me though.

With four worn corners I think it's a 6. Maybe a 6.5 with the nice centering on front.

6 or 6.5

JeremyDie1 · March 9, 2008 12:40PM

Awesome looking card. That is my favorite looking Mantle.

wolfbear · March 9, 2008 12:40PM

But a heck of a nice looking 6 or 6.5 ...

cwazzy · March 9, 2008 12:41PM

I think it crosses. Very nice card!

It's a beauty..I would keep it as is...no need to cross it.

I could be wrong here but I am pretty sure the back of that card is centered....the 53 number is suppose to be towards the top edge of the card....someone correct me if I am wrong.

it looks good to me for a 7

aro13 · March 9, 2008 1:02PM

I do not think it will cross. If I owned it and wanted to cross it, I would definately send it in the holder.

perkdog · March 9, 2008 1:06PM

This is the back of a PSA 7, a big difference in the top/bottom centering as you can see..

Stolen from eBay.

perkdog · March 9, 2008 1:08PM

That pretty much sums it up for me then, thanks for the scan Nick. Too much of a gamble for me..

Ahh...SGC never makes mistakes do they, according to the SGC lovers out there?

I agree that is a 6 or 6.5 card, not a 7.

WinPitcher · March 9, 2008 8:43PM

Did anyone notice the 8 that was on the cover of the SMR.

Not sure if SGC graded that one wrong. looks NM to me.
