bobbyw8469 · October 11, 2012 11:32AM

This little beauty of mine popped tonight. Any guesses as to what it graded?

firedawg45 · October 11, 2012 11:33AM

PSA 1.5

Dboneesq · October 11, 2012 11:34AM

Did not see the creasing in the lower right part of the card. Changed my guess to 2.5

Dpeck100 · October 11, 2012 11:35AM

PSA 3.

swartz1 · October 11, 2012 11:36AM

PSA 2.5

Foo3112 · October 11, 2012 11:38AM

That looks like a PSA 1

Brick · October 11, 2012 11:45AM

Looks like a PSA 3 to me.

leadoff4 · October 11, 2012 11:48AM

2.5

Foo3112 · October 11, 2012 11:56AM

LOL! Marc has an inside track......it was graded a PSA 1. I think it is a really nice PSA 1, but there is a spider wrinkle that runs from the top to the bottom. To read PSA's grade assessment, a PSA 1 says that all eye appeal has vanished entirely from the card. I don't think that is the case here. I think the card has plenty of eye appeal. I will stick it into my "live and learn" pile and just hold onto it. It is my favorite Mantle card - I like it so much, I had my girlfriend paint a picture of it for me!

OAKESY25 · October 11, 2012 12:28PM

I had and sold a psa 3 that yours is nicer than

mrmint23 · October 11, 2012 12:31PM

Probably mislabeled send it back.

bobbyw8469 · October 11, 2012 12:53PM

I'll just send it to you Curt...I am sure you are gonna offer me $25 for it......cheapo.......

Scottiec2288 · October 11, 2012 1:00PM

Bobby, love the 53 Mantle card as well. It looks like 2.5 or 3 . It shows really well, enjoy. I also love the painting, your girlfriend did a great job!!

bobbyw8469 · October 11, 2012 1:07PM

Thanks Scottie....she did it with colored pencils. The 1953 was the perfect choice for her to do, as the card is an artist rendition anyway, so it translated well to paper. She has tackled many hobbies since I have known her, and now her hobby is gardening. I would love for her to do me a '53 Satchell Paige card, but she has kind of moved away from drawing. She also told me if she ever did another one, they would have to be living so I can get it signed.....

Sweet painting, even nicer that it's from your girlfriend

congrats

Mike

bobbyw8469 · October 15, 2012 12:21PM

Thanks Mike! Got the card back in hand......in my opinion, it is a really nice PSA 1......great eye appeal!

jeff8877 · October 15, 2012 12:56PM

Bobby...awesome painting. I want one!

I agree, great eye appeal for a 1. I would like to have that in my collection.

bobbyw8469 · November 3, 2012 11:37PM

Thanks Tony! Should I send in for a second look?

tigerdean · November 4, 2012 1:28AM

That's some bull hockey if you ask me.

Maurice · November 4, 2012 2:29AM

That's some spam if you ask me.

BossPlayer · November 4, 2012 2:44AM

oh Maurice... such a cynical space cowboy...

bobbyw8469 · November 4, 2012 4:05AM

Maurice = alt.....

How can this be spam when the card isn't for sale?!?!?!!?

Get a clue dipwad!

Maurice · November 4, 2012 5:24AM

Everything is for sale, including your integrity, at the right price.

Bumping this thread weeks later suggests you still haven't received the offer you've been looking for.

Foo3112 · November 4, 2012 5:29AM

I know Bobby is getting ready to sub some cards and probably wanted to know if he should crack out is all.

BTW Maurice, I scanned my cards with the dust removal feature turned off like you suggested last month and it worked. Looks better. Thanks.

bobbyw8469 · November 4, 2012 7:16AM

You are 100% right Marc....the Mantle is not for sale....I was contemplating a crack-out....and Marc...you didn't need to get advice from an alt/troll. I could have told you about the dust removal feature. Maurice is useless....

I also recieved some good advice from fellow member Maurice recently,thanks!

Mickey71 · November 4, 2012 10:50AM

Worth a crack.

hookem · November 4, 2012 11:34AM

Crack for our Nov sub. I thought you would get a 2.

TonyC · November 4, 2012 11:47AM

The scan of the raw card shows a small brown patch on the bottom edge that looks like a water stain. Is this why it might have gotten the straight 1?

bobbyw8469 · November 4, 2012 11:54AM

Not sure.....it isn't a water stain...
