Memory Lane Mantles
I just looked at the '52 Topps Mantles in the Memory Lane auction preview. Anybody else think the SGC 5 might go for more than the PSA 7?

I prefer the SGC copy but usually the PSA ones win out, sadly.

I am not sure why. The SGC has better color, but is badly off centered with wear on all 4 corners. I would be surprised in the SGC copy goes for more than the average for grade. Does centering no longer count? I would expect the PSA to go for less than the average 7, but still more than the SGC.

I hate descriptions like this, what is the point? It reads to me like a parody of a description.
The breathtaking eye appeal is synonymous with Mantle's magnificent legacy, starting with the classic bat over shoulder pose portraying a strong aqua-marine blue background. You can virtually feel Mickey's curious nature as he gazes into the future with a youthful innocence that would eventually lead to his immortal Yankee standing. Immaculate resolution, sparkling facial hues, a glistening obverse side surface, white borders, a clean verso. This one looks better than the offered grade. PS I would be shocked if the 7 did not go for quite a bit more than the 5.

That description looks like someone threw up a thesaurus.

These are likely too small but I thought I'd try, for comparison sake.
Each have their plus's. The PSA 7 is the double printed copy while the SGC is it's first, if that makes a difference? Centering on both is off but the PSA copy is more consistent top to bottom on the right border. The PSA copy has more scuff marks but the colors do look bolder (Scanner?) Roll the dice I suppose?

There is no chance the sgc 5 goes for more than the psa 7. I would be shocked if it went for half as much. A nice dead centered 5 could bring close to what that 7 will though.
