Grading Question-59 Mantle
 

Hey guys, quick question. I am figuring out what to do with my collection and wanted you opinion on grading. What would you think this would grade out as from PSA and do you think its worth getting graded if I wanted to sell it? I know it is tough to tell on line but I was looking for a ballpark grade.

Thanks

scans
 

post larger than life scans on a black background ( to observe corners ); on your part , wobble it back and forth under a very strong light source to inspect for any creases or even wrinkles--- that makes it an automatic maximum "4"--- graded usually sells for more than raw. We need much larger scans though. Without problems that is a thousand-dollar card......

Send to PSA, looks like a nice card

..You said "your collection" ?--- look through them for cards of equal quality ( and value )to your gorgeous "59 Mantle and if you can assemble 15 of them . you'll be way ahead of the game if you "join" PSA and you'll get 15 free gradings as part of the deal. But always expect to get 1 or 2 grades lower than what you're hoping for. Getting only that Mantle graded as an outsider may be pricey for just one expensive card. They charge a small fortune sometimes. Keep us informed , Eh.

What Mike said. Post much bigger scans. Do you have a flickr (or something comparable) account? Upload them there and then use the large or very large links to post them here.

Better scans
 

Thanks for the advice. I tried to use Flickr for the first time so hopefully this gives you a better idea. I used my household scanner so I'm not sure how that quality compares to other. There are no creases at all on the card. Grading seems so erratic, that I'm not sure its worth it.

Awesome card. ExMt+ 6.5 IMHO due to corner touches.

On the lower right of your scans in flickr, there's a curved arrow icon. That leads to the links you need to post directly into forums. That's what I did here...
