Default Gem MT 1952 Mantle

I got a pretty good shot of Ken Kendricks 52 on display at the National. Just shockingly beautiful in person. Not sure if anyone has posted this already.

"Gem Mint" should mean flawless. The image on that example is tilted, makes it a "9" at best. I think there are two other "10's", Kendrick's card is the least of the 3. Dave. ps I should mention that this is a type A or 1 Mantle (no black box around logo and arm color weak). They always appeared dingy compared to a type B or 2 (black box around logo and his arm withful color).

Yeah, what a crappy collection...Tilted Mantle.....Trimmed Wagz......and OC Jackson. I jest, of course, my other post was just being accurate. To be fair I must add that Kendrick's 311 is probably worth more than my whole collection. But lets be honest it IS improvable. Dave

Default 10

Does not mean flawless. I have yet to see such a vintage animal. Kendrick's is equal to the one other 10 but not as nice as Marshall's 10 in my opinion.

I think PSA's top grade is an 11 now, so a 10 seems legit.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
