    I need to work on my scanning abilities.

    When I had my windows based PC Ebay gave me 3 options, one was self hosting.

    When I switched to this Mac I no longer had that capability.

    Can you suggest anything?

    Wow, that's ridiculous.....Everytime I read these threads I always feel like I'm 12 thinking that there is no way I could ever get a card like that!

    Unbelievable grade.....Congrats!

    Thanks for the offer, I have had 2 threads already where the card can be seen raw.

    When it comes back to me I can post it then in its slab.

    Very nice card, Steve.

    Steve,

    I will trade you a 1986 Topps Alan Knicely card in no better than NM condition for the 53 Mantle PSA 6.

    Kinda like Bryon, but let's cut out all the middle men.

    PM me your address and I'll get the card out to you.

    Steve,

    Sorry if I missed it but which service did you use?

    For that card I had to use super express. 60.00 and 2 day service.

    with the holiday and all I think they did a super job!

    I also have 5 cards in at the express level and 16 or so in the regular one.


    I was hoping that they would all ship at the same time.

    The card was entered into the system on March 21st (Friday) and shipped Monday the 24th.

    I mailed it out registered on the 15th from NY.

    All in all that was a pretty good turnaround. I am hoping to have it in my hand by Friday the 28th.

    Good for you.

    VERY nice card Steve. I agree with you and PSA - a nice solid 6, I don't think it was quite a 6.5

    Should be a lot of fun, bidding and going after these cards on ebay, for myself included as I fully intend to participate in the bidding proceedings. Not for the Mantle though - at a 6, that one I can't afford. image

    Recent ebay sale - 1953 Mantle PSA 6


    Yours will likely sell for more than this as I'm sure you'll give a better presentation with better scans, etc., than this guy did. Good luck!
  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,226 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Frankly, maybe I could afford it - selling for less than I thought...2nd year Topps Mantle for this kind of money? Really undervalued in my opinion.
