    Is that one of those 3D cards?

    hideous lack of eye appeal.

    Was it PSA who had (at one time) an out of focus (OF) designation?

    I agree with Bobby ... and everyone else who commented! How does that get a "6"?????

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Out of focus and off center. The bidding seems very high already. If I wanted to buy a 1951 Bowman Mantle and wanted to spend $5,000+, I would wait for a centered one with better focus.

    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.

    I couldn't even consider it with the focus so bad. That's the one thing that trips my OCD really bad.

    Would think that after a few brews the card may begin to come into focus.image

    Seriously, I'd have to buy a second Mantle to make up for that mess or just sell it and forget. I could never look at it image
