Dave, heartiest of congratulations on this acquisition. I could look at that gem all day. Come on SGC, why not a 98 GEM!?!?!?!? At least PSA will reward cards with a Gem MInt 10 here and there, but you guys VIRTUALLY NEVER DO!
I know, I know, they must have spotted SOMETHING on the backside to give it "just" the 96 MINT. Grading, after all, involves the whole card, and not just the most important front side.
Regardless Dave, even better than the near-perfect centering are the outstanding colors and picture registry. In the coin world, as I remember they term that "a perfect strike", which this Mantle blasts out of the park!!!
As Maurice Chevalier said in that wonderful Disney movie, In Search of the Castaways, ENZHOY IT!
Thanks for sharing this masterpiece Red Heart Mickey Mantle with us. ---Brian Powell
