1956 Mickey Mantle PSA 7 Rare HIGH END HIGH Grade

[CollectiblesNJ]

this card is for sale again on Ebay by original seller. I returned the card and the next day he claimed PSA looked at the card and was standing behind it.

We all know PSA will not even look at their PO Box for three days let alone receive, evaluate, return in 48 hours.

Still don't know if it was fake slab or not but I know it has still not been looked at.

He is lying to you. I returned a Michael Jordan card that some people were having an issue with. PSA ended up standing behind the grade as well, but it took them around a month to look at it and return it back to me. You have to ship the card to them. With his one day PSA "turnaround", I am wagering money that the card is no good, and he is going to pass it off to someone else.

Yep. Sounds like it.

Just report the issue with ebAy

This may be off topic, but I guess it isn't in a way. I have been looking at some 53 Topps cards on 707 sportscards website. For a long time, I have cringed at their prices. However, I have made a couple of purchases from them. They tend to have cards that aren't that easy to otherwise find. Anyway, I think Levi and co. has the reputation of being above reproach in that the authenticity of their cards are never in question. When buying something big time like a NM 56 Mantle, I am almost compelled to go to 707 or someone of that caliber, higher prices and all.

For a card like that, your best bet is one of the premiere auction houses. Greg Bussineau, Goodwin, Mile High, etc. You would get a better deal than going to 707. His prices are through the roof, and you can usually find a better card/better deal elsewhere.

So nobody ever consigns bad cards to auction houses?

If the seller is in CA is it possible they visited PSA personally? Or was their mailing address to far from PSA to make that possible?

Update:

Seller killed the re-listed card and is submitting the card to PSA. Said he was referring to a rep on the phone who looked at his listing when the original dispute arose. He really seems like he is trying to do the right thing as he could have just let his auction run its course and likely ebay would not have pulled it.


I agreed to withdraw my negative feedback and even consummate the original deal if he wishes once we have a positive result from PSA.

Will keep everyone updated.

Interesting thread. Count me in the camp that thinks it's a legitimate card and slab. Not the most beautiful 7, but not certainly a 5, either. Slab looks consistent with those of the early 2000s.

I concur. I have the 56 set in the registry and viewed some of the common
7s that are in line with the OP's Mantle.
