    Beautiful card...I have a few that look like that also. PSA will look at it and tell you if the case has been compromised. You may want to go that route for piece of mind. Looks like a very strong 5.

    << <i>Absolutely fine. >>



    The dealer i bought it through gave me his cell and home # also

    So that made me feel better... But like i said i am new to vintage....

    And this just seemed like the best place to post this

    On another note this might really help me...

    Is there anything i should look for when it come to psa holders that might be altered

    Thanks kyle

    The frosting will be all up and down one side of the case. It is perfectly normal to see little 1/4" patches of frosting along the joints of the case.

    Hey guys I suggested Kyle come here and ask because on Blowout for every decent response he got there were 10 nitwit posts.

    I knew the adults would not let him down!image

    I don't do vintage, but that is my favorite Mantle card. The look on his face to me kinda says "Yeah, I know I'm awesome, can drink a bottle of the hard stuff, and still go 3-4 the next day."
