What would this '64 Mantle grade?

corvette1340 · February 21, 2009 1:38AM

Need some opinions from the group. I've got the opportunity to buy this good looking centered Mantle for my set. What do you think it would grade and what would be a fair/good price on it? Thanks.

psa 6?
$125-150?

PSA 6-6.5

Edited to say I did not see the upper left corner...

corvette1340 · February 21, 2009 2:08AM

No shot at a 7 or 7.5? The corners look pretty good to me and centering is perfect. No other flaws other than slightly touched corners as far as I can tell.

EOT, bottom edge.

corvette1340 · February 21, 2009 2:11AM

all edges are perfectly straight.

lsutigers1973 · February 21, 2009 2:15AM

<< all edges are perfectly straight >>

Would you trim a card so that it had a wavy edge?

Corners looks like it is missing paper, bottom right in first picture and bottom left in second pict.

I would think this card would of been graded by now, if nothing was wrong with it.

6 at first glance, BUT agree with the paper loss comment, might not come back with what you want.

I wouldnt trim a card period, but it measures perfect and is uniform with the rest of the '64s I measured it against.

I wish you the best of luck, but I don't see it coming back any higher than a "6". The corner by the "Y" in Yankees and the one by the word "outfield" look a bit worn. JMO.

EDITED TO ADD THAT MY 900TH POST WAS ABOUT MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PLAYER - THE MICK

I have no idea if it was trimmed, with that said anyone that gives a grade is guessing.

The person that has it in hand should be in the best position to grade it.

My opinion (guess) is that if it grades it will grade a 6.

I base that upon the OP's statement that it has touched corners.

2 or more touched corners with decent centering has always been EX/MNT to me.

Wasn't suggesting you trimmed the card. Card trimmers look for slightly oversized cards. When trimmed, the cards usually are the correct size.

corvette1340 · February 21, 2009 2:45AM

I had 6-6.5 in my mind with a shot at 7, but it has to get a 6.5 to justify the price I think. Thanks for everyones input.

OAKESY25 · February 21, 2009 2:46AM

top left and bottom righ corners have wear.. bottom right has more then freying.. has a tip bend..
I would expect a 6.. don't be shocked at a 5.5
be pumped at a 6.5+

Ahmanfan · February 21, 2009 3:36AM

nice card.

leadoff4 · February 21, 2009 3:37AM

N8 miscut... seriously

OAKESY25 · February 21, 2009 3:49AM

why in the world is this a miscut?

incugator · February 21, 2009 4:12AM

This could be a miscut. The front looks good. It may be a 7, but the back looks trimmed because of the miscut. It is a really bad angle cut or the back of the sheet did not line up correctly.

My unprofessional guess 6 (NQ)

Anything higher than 5 and you have an early Christmas present.

WinPitcher · February 21, 2009 4:30AM

If it has to get a 6.5 grade to justify the price have the owner of the card get it graded
and if it comes back a 6.5 pay him 6.5 money.

IMO you should not pay anything more then 4.5 money for it raw.

This way you both accept some risk.
