I was wondering the same thing when I saw the scans and I was honestly expecting there to be some kind of unexpected flaw when I got it in hand. I was pleasantly surprised when I couldn't find anything. If someone had covered up the label and asked me to guess the grade I probably would have said a PSA 3.5 or maybe a PSA 3 to be on the safe side, but I've seen worse looking cards in PSA 4 holders.

Nice 52 Mantle...i collect mantle and hoping some day i can afford a low grade/auth card.
As far as looks....looks awesome just the corners might be light, which is ok in my book. If theres anything you need or find, let me know. I ran across a bunch of folks that take their auctions off Ebay and use paypal to cut cost. Sometimes its a waiting game, its definetly worth to get a nicely centered card. than hopping on the 1st one that you see. Last edited by pawpawdiv9; 01-20-2013 at 11:39 AM. |

That '52 Topps Mantle is gorgeous. Count me as one of the ones shocked that it got a 2, even with that stain on the back.

After nine years of searching, finally found a 1956 Pittsburgh Pirates Team Issue - Bill Mazeroski and it's autographed to boot (for some reason, the scanner cut off the edge of the card)..........

Great looking Maz! Did you have to work on getting someone to part with it or did this one just show up for sale?

'59 team issue Bob Gibson. Somehow, I lucked into the better conditioned of the two that were on the bay in the last two days.

C'mon, Derek, you could have gone $7 on that one, no?

Yeah, I was the other non-winning bid on the beater. I'm on a thin budget this week, and with what that went for, I really didn't think that this one would go cheap enough for me. Shipping included, landed it for 3 less..

The first card my dad bought me was a '72 Clemente back in 1986, the pinnacle of my collection. Your son will never forget it!

Great card! That was my 1st Clements card too. I really wanted one of him after reading about him as a kid.

Thanks all for the comments. My son loves baseball, and at 3 1/2, he already loves the classic players. He wants to play baseball in the house everyday, and has a lineup of players he pretends to be (Clemente, Jackie Robinson, Cobb, Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, etc.). His two favorites are Clemente and Jackie, which I think is great because their legacy goes well beyond the game as well. Definitely a lot of fun - and it’s always great to see people’s reactions when they ask him who his favorite players are.
Mike - sweet ’53 Glendales - that Owen Friend presents very well! David - awesome Gibson RC pickup!
