1961 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 7 for $350 or 1961 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 8(OC) for $280?

Depends on the cards. Do you have scans? I've see o/c qualifiers on cards that I didn't think deserved it and then again, I've seen cards that should have o/c qualifiers that didn't. Too broad a question w/o scans.

I'm looking to upgrade my PSA 5 that I have in my set.
By using the Microsoft cashback I could get

PSA 7

jasoneggert · October 5, 2008 10:56AM

Personally I do not like cards with qualifiers. I think the 7 has WAY more eye appeal than the OC 8. The first thig you see on that card is how off center it is, you don't even look at its other attributes, corners color, etc. Go for the 7.

44Magnum · October 5, 2008 10:58AM

If these are the two that you're talking about, then definitely the 7

PSA 7

PSA O/C

Neither. The 8OC bugs me for obvious reasons, and the straight 7 is off both ways. Pass and pass.

corvette1340 · October 5, 2008 11:01AM

yes, those are the two, thanks. I'll probably end up springing for an 8 NQ but I'm trying to maximize the cashback option before it disappears. What would be a good price for a good looking 7 and a good looking 8 on ebay without the buy it now?

storm888 · October 5, 2008 11:02AM

I would wait for a better centered 7.

That 8 (OC) will always be hard to sell.

That 7 is a semi-barker.

Patience is good.

leadoff4 · October 5, 2008 11:17AM

Definitely not the 8oc. Did your 60 Topps submission pop yet?

There will be others like this one!

Not yet. They were logged in on the 29th so hopefully this week since it was suppose to be 7 day turnaround. I guess I could trade the '60 Mantle for a '61 Mantle if it grades high enough.

Since I hate O/C cards, I would take a well-centered PSA 7 over an 8 O/C any day.

thanks Bobby. What are the figures on (OC) PSA 8's and 9's for this Mantle? I hardly ever see them.

onebamafan · October 6, 2008 1:49AM

Straight 7.....................

corvette1340 · October 6, 2008 1:50AM

How about $168 for a PSA 7(OC)?

jamesryanbell · October 6, 2008 1:54AM

I hate OC cards to begin with, so I'd take the PSA 7.

tugboat2648 · October 6, 2008 4:48AM
