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.

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?

Thanks, guys. I was waiting for one without the print marks or reverse staining. And this one has such a lush image. I'm really happy with it!

Awesome Maz PC, Phil. He looks like he is on his high school team.

Nice card-- I only saw the lesser conditioned one and was the underbidder - thought I could snag it for $6.

Oh well!! Great pick-up!

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..

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!

He's awesome! I was that way at about 8. Read every baseball bio in the kids section at our library. There is so much more now to enjoy with the internet. He'll be a historian by the time he's 10!

Good to see you on here Mike! I didn't realize that was you and was getting ready to PM you saying that I know a guy collecting Heritage bucks, then I saw your name
