1967 Topps Pin-Ups Qestion

prthd

Im working on a PSA set of these. Im curious why alot of them are given a qualifier of MK. I also noticed on some of the scans on ebay that there is a sticker or label on the revers of the slab. Right in the middle of the flip and the pin up, can someone tell me what this is. I dont really like it as I think it takes away from the card/poster. Thanks in advance.

prthd,

I am also working on this set and currently have the #1 set...

Regarding your two questions...I have not seen any that got graded as MK that did not have writing on them. What are you seeing that is different?

Also, relative to label on back of poster, there is nothing on any that I have...please explain/pic?

Im working on a PSA 5 set with decent centering. I included a link to a Mantle with the label on the reverse. As far as the MK I was just curious, alot of them on ebay seem to have MK.

Maybe its the guys scanner but it seems like there is a label on his slabs. When you zoom in it looks like the slab if formed around the label.

The one's on ebay all have pencil marks on the back as the guy broke up a complete set and they all had this...

On the Mantle link, that is just a shadow from the way the picture was taken, there is nothing on the back of them.

prthd --

Regarding the MK qualifiers -- IMO this is simply the result of people writing on them. Many were pinned to the wall and have small holes, as well.

Regarding the scan of the Mantle, what you are seeing is the scanner -- very common with Dave R's listings -- nothing to worry about -- he is a very reputable seller.
