    don't know if that mark on the bottom border in the middle is from your scanner, but if its on the card, could get you a qualifier.

    Not taking that black mark into account, I'd say 6 or 6.5.

    Edges look awfully sharp..normally that black dot in the border above Mickey's head can be seen in its entirety

    Great centering. The corners are an issue along with the stain. I would say 5 (ST).

    Nice looking card. One of my all time favorites of Mantle. IS that a nick on the top edge of the card? If not, my guess would be 5-5.5 (ST).

    Nice card.

    Would like the precise measurement on this card also.

    I'm concerned about the top border.

    I'm no expert but that looks trimmed on the top

    Judging by the top border being larger on the left than on the right, I would say it would grade "evidence of trimming"

    Good deal!
    I thought the top edge being rough was more from the blade getting a little dull during the cutting of the card and that was what caused the roughness.
    Thats a super sweet card! Congrats!

    yeah, i'm extremely happy with it. especially because it got a straight 6. I did mark no q's but had in my mind that it would be a 5 because of the stain.

    little bummed on the 52, but still a strong looking card and considering this one and the ryan, I did good.

    I want to send in my Wilt Chamberlain that was bought as most likely trimmed.

    Is it up to the grader if it comes back AUTH or Trimmed and not holdered?

    I put a note in the online sub notes, stating just holder authentic if trimmed....

    Thanks for the feedback. I thought of doing that and glad to hear it worked for you.
