Several months ago, I got this Mantle back from PSA. I've decided to try to sell it on eBay, but I have no idea what price to list it at or what it is worth. As you can see, it is a beautiful card, but off center and doesn't meet the PSA size requirement.
Thanks in advance for any opinions on what price range I could expect to get if listed on eBay. I couldn't find any similar sales.

Nice Mantle, David. Sorry about the size...
I'd say $299 or BO. Here is a pretty good comp at $230 - yours is centered better T/B. If grading weren't such a hassle, I'd say resubmit. Min Size cards often get through on the second or third try.

David:
Do you think the minimum size is from trimming or was it in a screw down for a while?
Gretzky,Ripken, and Sandberg collection. Still trying to complete 1975 Topps baseball set from when I was a kid.
Well.. I've never heard of a card getting smaller in a screw down..
Is the card truly small? In other words when you hold it against other 68’s does it feel smaller? If not then re-sub!
Thanks for all your comments and observations.
1968 Topps are 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". I measured the Mantle, and it's 2 7/16" x 3 1/2". 1/16" doesn't sound like much, but I think it might be enough to be noticed. I'm not sure re-subbing would do any good, but I don't guess it would hurt to try, although it will be a long wait to submit and get an answer.
I'm fairly certain it wasn't trimmed. It came from a local collector who bought the card back in 1968. He never really collected after that, and sold me his collection 2-3 years ago.
Maybe a $250 card?
