1958 Mantle... what will this grade?

1966CUDA

Thinking of purchasing this one...thoughts on grade if sent to PSA?

I would say 6

probably a pretty safe bet - corners look nicer than a lot of 6s but there appears to be some edge wear on the right side

5 or 6.

It would be a 7 if it weren't a Mantle. Probably a 6 - 6.5.

SHARP Surface! Wonder how much they'll deduct for the diamond cut

'58 Topps Mick PSA NM 7 for comparison....your example matches up better, but i'm curious about the way the side borders are cut. good luck if you send it in for grading.

+1. That was a big issue for me. Can't see that in a 7.

I would say 7. Good luck.

+1, though it does appear there may be an indentation to the right of the Yankees logo. If so, 4.5?

4...rubber band marks on back above M and e..Also indention/wrinkle on front beside yankee logo....Buy the card not the flip....Nice card

Miscut PSA

GrandMasterB

The top and left edge look suspect to me Too clean compared to the other two.

Are you guys suggesting it would come back miscut because of the slight diamond cut? Unless there's a special strict grading standard for Mantles, no way. I've seen countless PSA 8s with this kind of diamond cut. They just aren't very strict about tilt and diamond cut.

No,
Im saying mis cut not because of the centering.
But because the top and bottom boarders are flat and flush to the 90 degree black frame. But the left and right boarders are miscut giving the corners angles greater or less than 90 degrees.
