This is the only one I have ever seen for sale and I am ecstatic to add this to my collection. What makes it even better is that it has relatively decent centering and none of the typical scrapbook damage. Plus, it is fresh from Venezuela, which only adds to the charm to me.

I see you're also looking for a 1960 Venezuelan Mantle/Boyer... There's a PSA4 on eBay right now for a mere $5,000 .... ;-) |

thank you both. I could not be happier about the purchase. I rarely find a card this nice, at a price I can afford, when I can afford it. Now just two Topps Venezuelan Mantles to go...

It must be Minnie Minoso month. This 1956 Topps just came in. Nothing special, collectors grade. It's going to be incorporated in discussion very shortly.
Also found a pretty nice Steve Garvey for the '75 Topps set. Slightly off center, but I like it.

Congrats Chris on obtaining the Mantle. How long have you been looking for that particular Mantle?

Thank you all. I have been casually searching for it for years, but I've taken it on and off my list as I thought I would never get it. I cannot wait to have this one in hand as the condition looks halfway decent on it. This puts me within 6 cards of completing my set (330 cards), although I might add some more postcards and a couple of pseudo test issued cards to the list next. Now I just need the 1960 and 1968 Venezuelans...

Ok, Mr. Belanger came in today. Another beautiful card.
I'm going to put this up next to the Johnny Bench I got a few days ago. You tell me where either of these cards came up short for a 9 grade. Well centered, sharp corners and edges, no printing flaws, no surface issues. Clean backs.

Wow Bill! You have the ability to pick some incredible 8's. PSA needs to hire you for Quality Control!. The Belanger looks to be an easy 9 if not a possible 10. The Bench for sure looks to be a 9. The big difference I see between the two cards is the Belanger has better centering on the inner white border (looks perfect) compared to JB who is not perfect but still outstanding. I am not even sure if the inner white border is even a factor when it comes to grading. The richness in color is incredible on Belanger and Bench looks to be not too far behind on color richness as well. I would seriously consider resubmitting both them. Belanger that has to be a 9+++ with the Bench being a 9 as well. My 2 cents for what it is worth.

Not usually a fan of early PSA graded cards but these 3 were well worth it. And a beautiful buy the card not the holder 58 Mantle as well.

The left to right centering on the two cards is identical, but there is a slight difference in the top to bottom centering. The Belanger is a couple pixels higher when the two cards are stacked.

I'm sure they were scratching their heads when they came in. I'm the lucky beneficiary of the grading short change. I love both these cards.

Taking a page from the MattyC playbook
For my HOF post-war rookies....I picked up a couple of others but this one is the apple of my eye, warts and all....dinged down to a 3 mostly I'm sure because of a barely visible crease, and the corner wear...but wow, I am loving this 3...
