Looking to sell the following Mickey Mantle cards: 1953 and 1955 Bowman, 1956, 1957, and 1959 Topps. Cards are far from pristine, but IMO all have decent eye appeal. I'm looking to move these, so while I do have a price listed please feel free to make offers. Also, would be willing to give a pretty decent price break if any body wanted to buy the entire lot.
The 1953 Bowman has a rough bottom edge and quite a bit of creasing on the bottom 15% or so of the card. Corners aren't good, but not awful. A few tiny creases on the top right as well. It is centered well which I think is somewhat harder to come by for that issue. $300
The 1955 Bowman presents well. Card has some edge and corner wear, but no creasing. The card is relatively well centered. The obvious flaw which takes this card to the 'poor' grade is that it has glue and paper residue adhered to the back. $100
The 1956, although well-centered w/ decent corners, but has several heavy creases in addition glue/paper residue on the back. $150
The 1957 has some front paper loss I'm guessing from being stuck in an album w/ photo corners at one point in time. The most disconcerting thing about this card though is that I'm 99% positive it's been trimmed. The top border looks slanted and, when held next to comparable cards, I believe the top left corner to be lower than the top right corner. $125
The 1959 is the best of the lot... Very good centering for that issue w/ some pretty dinged corners. The card does have a very minor 'wrinkle' or crease (not positive of the distinction, but the imperfection does not really go through to the back). $180
