What do you think it will grade? Should I have it graded?

    Personally, I think it should be in a slab, but have low expectations.

    IMO, keep it raw. Just in a nice protector.

    PSA 5, imo.

    I was thinking it would catch a 5.

    I'm going to sell it, graded would help me get what I want.

    The corners are too soft for a 5, as well as the centering...and alot of snow in the background...I predict a 3 or 4....

    if you are only sending in one card you have to factor shipping to/from and if that is the case I'd leave as is. throw it up as a buy it now for $85 and it will probably sell. get it graded and it comes back a five at best and you'd end up with about the same money....but you'd also be saving the grading fee and shipping to/from.

    I guess it could 5, however I think it is a 4.

    The 66 Mantle is a DP card.

    I'd get it graded only if I needed 1 more card to form a submission.

    Good for you.

    3 maybe 4.5 maximum
    soft corners, OC
    slight tilt
    But still a great card of a great player

    I dont even see the 4.5....centering is the definite key on the half grade bumps, and this card just doesn't have it....Id be willing to wager right now......4!
    It's still a nice card and worthy of a slab if you can get down on a $5 or $6 special....I sent 2 in last time and got a 1 and a 3.....still made more than it cost to get graded....I got them in a box lot, so I was happy.

    Last month was my first submission and I will never send cards in. I live in So Calif so I will drop them off at the once a month PSA open submission day.
    I appreciate everyones input.
