1961 Mantle auction

What do you think?

If unaltered, 6.5 to 7. Depends on how they hit the card with centering.

did you take into account the air bubble described in the listing?

BunchOBull · October 10, 2008 11:50PM

5

edit to add...that's the kind of card I go for...looks good, grades low

with all the damage described in the listing; no better than a 5.

I didn't read the listing completely at first either and I emailed the guy asking if he'd put a buy it now for me of $200. (was gonna use the MSLive 30%)
He mailed me back and said sure, so I thought I was about to get a steal for $140, but luckily I saw the air bubble part before I pulled the trigger.

I am not experienced and not a huge Mantle Collector, but I would say a PSA 5

Depending on that bubble I'd say between a 4 and a 5.

My question is why isn't it already graded?

If I was in the market for such a card I'd buy it already graded.

For all we know PSA could grade it as a 2.

I've bought a few raw Mantles that ended up grading a lot higher than the price I paid for them.
