Not my white whale...but not a goldfish either- 1959 Mantle

I have been very patient looking for this card. The card is 90% of the time overgraded in PSA 7 and 8. It usually has bad background snow, weak color, bad centering and below average corners even in PSA 7.

When I saw this card....I had to have it. One of the nicest, solid 7's I have ever encountered. image

    Hi Doug. I'm slowly getting back to the swing of things. Have alot of aches and pains in my stomach....that's the area of the mass that was recently removed. I have an appt with numerous tests later this month. I'm a little nervous.

    Stunning card. Why not an 8?What centering! Always nice to see a patient hunter rewarded with an undergraded card!

    Matty ... I think because of the bottom corners ... especially the left. Agree?

    It would look great in a 7.5

    Hiya Mickey

    With a 7 like that? Who needs higher!

    It's a beauty and the centering is super.

    Congratulations.

    That is a beautiful Mantle card you have there. Perhaps a review or crackout is in order.

    Gorgeous card. Always liked that Mantle card. I think a 7.5 is justified...
    2.5 is pretty much my speed.
