    +2, more likely the 3 if anyone looks at the back

    Agreed. Link to the back was broken when I clicked before. Most likely 3.

    Nice L-R centering and bottom edge, and corners make it a 3.5-4. Looking at back drops it to a 2.5-3. Beautiful card and that card and issue is one of the best ever IMO. Having this one and a Mays from 1953 would be an awesome 1-2 punch.

    My favorite Mantle. I think the red/white/blue colors are a great example of America. And who is more of an American,at least in baseball cards, than Mantle. I'm not much of a #'s guy for grading, but that condition would fit well for me in a 4-5 set of like graded cards. I would not turn away from it. Nicely centered,nice color,corner wear would not bother me in the least. My first concern with high end cards is authenticity.

    Whatever grade it gets, it's a beauty.
