Borders do show some toning, and this is consistent with the other commons I have from this set. I didn't want one with borders as white as the snow on my driveway because I don't think paper from 1951 should look like it was printed yesterday!
The other thing I did was measure it and it appears fine to me. I do have a few others sitting inside PSA cases and they all lined up fine.
And the last thing I did was the UV test and it passed that one too. I understand that most forms of restoration can't be seen under the UV light, however, sometimes it can pick up weird sh*t!  |
Amazing Mantle! I hear a lot of talk about how that is a very underrated card....and I completely agree. His true rookie. And that's a GREAT looking copy. Very good pickup, thanks for posting.
Also, the price of that card is the one reason I decided not to chase the 1951 Bowman set and went after the 1952 instead.
