I want to buy a 69 Mantle white letter, and I'm wondering what you friends think about this one? What do you think this might grade? PSA 4? Seller says left border looks like rubber band mark. Centering not bad compared to some 1969 Mantles I've seen. Fair price? (I thought I had posted the picture for you, but I guess I don't know how.)

Always looking for Mantle cards such as Stahl Meyer, 1954 Dan Dee, 1959 Bazooka, 1960 Post, 1952 Star Cal Decal, 1952 Tip Top Bread Labels, 1953-54 Briggs Meat, and other Topps, Bowman, and oddball Mantles.

    Your honor ... with the marks along the side of the card, do you think it would grade a "4"? I'm thinking closer to a "3" and if that is the case, the card is over priced by about $100.00. JMO ... either way, good luck!

    IMO the rubber band marks almost look like rusty scissor marks, I would steer clear of paying anything higher than for an "authentic' grade which would be closer to 200

    You need to be careful of that card, it's possible the card can be doctored to look like a white letter. This is not easy to tell from a scan.

    The scans are huge. To me the card looks to have normal rubber band marks and honest corner wear that matches.

    Id also say a 3-4

    No comment on price ... IMO the white letters cards are overrated print flaws. And Mantle is overrated as well...
