Will PSA grade these cards?
 

Anyone know if PSA will grade these cards despite the cut corners on the one and the missing sticker on the other? I know they will grade some damaged/altered cards, but just not sure when the damage becomes too bad for them to encapsulate it.

Unrelated to your question, what is the name of your Westie?

Her name is Lexa. Do you have one as well?

Boy named Friday. He is 6 and we have had him since he was 12 weeks old. Headed out for a walk before the Royals game comes on.

The 1st one....is that a disc or something i think...I read SGC does round item..but it cost additional for a insert.
The middle one....the missing thing...seems incomplete...how would they grade that/list it
The last one....are you kidding..is that REAL 52? i mean the card??? and nice dog too!!
I bidded on a nice one at HA...theres several to be had.

A little about the pics:
1. The first one did not start its life out as a disc. It is actually a 1959 Topps. The person I purchased it from suggested that somebody cut out the circle from the card and glued it to a hat. It has some back damage as a result. I liked the story associate with it and purchased it anyway. I am clearly not all that picky about the condition of my cards. I like the well-loved look, plus it allows me to add a lot more cards to my collection than I would be able to otherwise.

2. The second picture are the two 1968 Topps All Star Action Sticker sticker sheets that feature Mantle. The first one is in really good condition. The second is missing a sticker. I don't have a clue if they would grade the second since it is missing one of the stickers. If they did, presumably they would label it Authentic?

3. The third is a 52 Topps. And, the dog is a 4 year old puppy named Lexa. Such a great dog and, for the most part, was very patient with me today when I went through my cards.

There are several graded Topps Action All-Star panels on Ebay. Both SGC and PSA examples. Why spend money on the 1959 Mantle though?

My concern with the All Star panel is that they may not grade it since one of the stickers is missing from the panel. As for the 59 Mantle, I would only send it in if I sent my entire collection in as a bulk submission. Assuming they would grade it, I would spend the 7 dollars to have it consistent with the rest of my collection. I have a set on the PSA registry and I would like to be able to put all of my cards on there.

I wish I had a 52 Mantle to play with:(

I hope you get one soon!

Are you working on a particular Mantle set (master set, basic set, some hybrid, etc.)? It seems like the master set is nearly impossible, and I always love to hear what other people are going for instead.

They slabbed this one authentic for me.

Thank you for weighing in. Great card. I love the colors and the corners really don't detract from it. Given that they encapsulated this, hopefully they would grade mine as well.

I'm pretty sure I've seen cards get rejected for being as incomplete as the Mantle is. I think I have seen it with prewar cards that were so poor that the TPG wouldn't slab it for whatever reason. I could be wrong but I would be prepared for it to be rejected if you do submit it.

Thanks Andy. I appreciate your feedback. I don't know if I will ever send it in, but if I do, it definitely wouldn't shock me to get it back ungraded.
