  • Sorry to let the cat out of the bag.

    You can get this really great Mays too for $999 OBO!

    PRO Mays

    If PRO grades it as 5.5, you know it has to be bad.

    You could get the same card PSA 7 from Levi for $975...

    1955 Mays PSA 7

  • I offered a “Best Offer” of $1.00. His response was:

    “That's pretty rude. Look at my feedback, guy. I'm not a crook.”

    He ended the auction; I can’t imagine why.

    Question & Answer Answered On June 15-08

    Q: Why is the scan cropped so closely? It looks like the card is already in a graded holder?

    A: I've had a lot of people asking about the graded holder.. it is graded by Gem Grading a Gem Mint 10. I didn't want the shoddy grader to downplay the beauty of this card. Per advice from several people familiar with the business I have cracked the case and put the card in an Ultra Pro card protector and a bubble-wrapped envelope to send it to PSA for grading. Please add me as a favorite and watch for this card to be reposted with its PSA grade! Thanks to everyone for their interest in this beautiful card and for all the questions!

    Not a crook, I just offer a reprint Mantle rookie for $275k for entertainment purposes only.

    Reprint? what makes you say that? If anything it is a trimmed Mantle.

    Good for you.

    Another card from this seller:

    This is a beautiful 1954 Bowman Mickey Mantle #65, GUARANTEED 100% AUTHENTIC, and GUARANTEED every BIT as flawless as it appears in the scans! This card is BREATHTAKING. It is in BETTER SHAPE than the GAI graded 7.5 that I sold 8 months ago. (See scans to compare!) The ONLY thing I have been able to find wrong with this card is the centering!



    What is this guy thinking?

    Good for you.

    That's a PSA holder in the picture, isn't it? I though GEM had a different looking border in the case.

    I hope this was sarcasm. If the card was truly authentic it never would have been entombed in a GEM MINT holder.
