Andy, thanks for uploading a scan.
Wow, 20 slots at $500 a slot.
The PSA pop for a MINT 9 1955 Bowman Mickey Mantle is now just 8 or 9; furthermore PSA stated in the article that they hadn't graded one as MINT for 20 years! That's a meager number of graded mint specimens, and probably the provenance on this particular one will give it higher cache. For sure, this Mantle can genuinely be described as "pack-fresh", and with it being immediately graded, that gives it further allure.
Great story from the National, that's for sure.
