Need advice with buying a psa 52 topps mantle from experience

tigerdean

I know, I know, have lots of money is the first thing. I am thinking about buying a 52 topps mantle. I would like any input or advice from others who have made this significant purchase such as what to look for so I dont get ripped off. What about centering, surface, corners, and especially creases. Which are the most important features to concentrate on? Thanks in advance to all who reply and please feel free to PM if you would rather not reply on the board. Thanks, Dean

make sure to buy a PSA or SGC already graded Mick from a reputable dealer or auction house. if the transaction ends up being a scam then condition of the card does not matter.

in terms of centering, creases, etc...that depends on the grade and your preference and what you can afford. buying from a legit dealer would be my number one priority and the rest is based on your budget and preference.

I would check Huggins & Scott have had good service with them.

I don't have one, but the best advice I could give would be to buy a graded one (PSA or SGC) and look for one that has good eye appeal, don't just buy the grade.
