OK here's the deal for a free 1948 Original Baseball's Great HOF Exhibit card (to be presented in a few weeks following the crossover and when I get my set maker--Lemon card--back from my brother in two weeks and get it graded too!)
Rules: only one entry per person--NO EDITING!!!!
Guess the PSA grade on my recently acquired Mantle Red Heart card--AND--guess the grade after I cross it over to Beckett to complete my set. (Why am I crossing over to Beckett you ask?? Simple--Mickey was born in Oklahoma, raised his family in New York and Dallas, then died in Dallas. Beckett's in Dallas so I'm bringing Mickey home!).
Only a perfect score on both grades wins to the poster who gets them both right FIRST--no ties!!
(Did I mention--no ties??!!! And did I mention NO EDITS--immediate DQ!!)
So guess away boys--I know you all think of yourselves as Mensa candidate--so here's your chance to prove how brilliant you are!! Then when you interview someday for a grader job at PSA--you can put it on your resume: "I once won a contest!"
(Remember--this contest wont be over for a while until I get the Mantle card crossed over and the Lemon card back from my brother in 2 weeks! Exhibit card to winner!! No whining! I'm the final aribiter!! All my decisions are FINAL!! Thanks for playing and GOOD LUCK!!!)
PS--I may reduce the size of these images later if they're too obno!!!

<< <i>What does the Lemon card have to do with this?
Steve >>
Now that I finally own a RH Mantle the Lemon's the only card I need to complete the BVG set. As soon as I get it (the Lemon) back from my brother (long story why he has it) when I visit him in two weeks, I'll be submitting the Mantle and Lemon cards in to Beckett to be grade. Then I'll have an entire Red Heart set graded by Beckett. And when they pop I immediately will announce the winner of the Exhibit HOF card (if anybody wins!)

Thanks for the "runnerup" prize in the last contest. Exhibit Frank Chance!

You got it king!!
Here's one from TO's Pop Higher--ZERO "special reserve"--one of 2 best ever graded!
TO's No. 2 All-Time
I just cracked it out and sent it off to Beckett. I'll post a pic of Mickey in his new digs when I get it back...
Personally I would hire any of you guys over whomever graded Mickey for PSA!
It must have a wrinkle or crease?

I agree there has to be a crease or wrinkle the scan did not show.
Surface wear is the hardest to see from a scan.

No wrinkles or creases
couple of small black spots (ink?) lower back,smudges up near balls, tiny spot lower border front, slightly OC
guess it's the OC plus all of the above
<< <i>smudges up near balls >>
I had that problem too one time. Antibiotics cleared it right up.
