    61 looks border line 9
    64 802 looks like a bump .5+
    the rest look like they are grade correctly

    Maybe these three:

    04599802 - 2nd 64 Topps
    90311161 - 66 Topps
    01001498 - 67 Topps

    I just saw all those cards in a very recent thread.

    very small scans, hard to tell but i think the centering on all of the 64 8's will keep them at an 8. i'd say no on the 67.

    nice run of mantles.


    Thanks,

    I don't think any will bump, except maybe the '61.

    No one said anything about the 55 bumping...you don't think so?

    The 61 has mint corners and nicely centered, but it also has the light snow in the background-I think it has a 50/50 shot. The 64 in a 7 with 802 as the last few #'s is arguably an 8. The color is fantastic. I believe this one is a no doubt bump to at least a 7.5. The 64's in 8's are real nice but centering could be the drawback. The 66 is a very solid card. I also believe the 55 Bowman was very harshly graded as a straight 7. It would not look out of place in an 8 holder. Thanks for everyones opinions and I hope you enjoyed looking at the cards. I want to show some Mays, Clemente's , Aarons and Koufax's tonight. My favorite part of the boards is seeing everyones cards.

    I'm an expert on 1955's, but the scan is too small to judge (back centering and potential stains) are also factors.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    Based on the scans provided, I would say that all are graded pretty accurately. Your best shot at a .5 bump, if I had to choose one, would probably be the 64 Mantle (04599802), in my opinion.

    These 4 providing their backs have comparable centering and are clean:

    01716396 - 61 Topps
    04599802 - 64 Topps
    90311161 - 66 Topps
    01001498 - 67 Topps

    The 61 Mantle seems a slam dunk, snow or not.
