What percentage of the time does this Mantle grade a PSA 7?

If cracked out, this card would come back a PSA 7 _______% of the time? Any chance it doesn't come back at least a 6?

I'm thinking 25% of the time it comes back a 7, and maybe 5% it comes back lower than 6...

    My best guess...10% 7, 80% 6, 10% other. Looks nice in the holder it is in.
  • in my opinion, this one would not bump...
    too much corner wear to be a 7 or even a 6.5
    ...looks like a 6 to me....

    Agreed!! The card looks nice in that holder. Why risk it?! How would you feel if it came back EOT like my SGC crackout did? I'm not saying it will....just a wise member told me to buy the card you want in the holder you want. If you have money to burn, then by all means.....

    Im going to go with 40% chance at a 7.
    Is that a bend on the lower left?

    Thanks guys - that lower left does look pretty soft in the big scans.

    It does look fine in the SGC holder, but I've got a few PSA graded 54's already and am thinking of building the set. Too anal to mix and match slabs, but liked this Mick too much to pass it up.

    that lower left , holds it back. if the top corners were 8 corners then I think it would get into a 7 with the lower left after a few tried but not with the top corners having 6 characteristics

    Decent shot at a 6.5 in my opinion.

    Nice card!

    Want to comment on the awesome eye appeal of your card, WOW! I am in the same boat in regards to mixing slabs, so I figure it's going to get cracked. From what I have seen this card will get a 6.5 and eventually a 7 is possible. Just depends on your luck and how many times you are willing to submit!
    Good luck

    Looking at the back of the card the it looks like all 4 corners are soft so likely no bump, but that is a beauty!
