FS: 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle gray back -PICS ADDED-
 

Greetings everyone

It has come to that time when I find I need to sell the a card I have been hanging on to as life has decided to throw a few plot twists our way and the pressing need of some medical bills and a few other things has caused me to sell this card.

I have for sale a 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle gray back #135 that presents exceptionally well. This card has very nice centering, excellent corners and all of it's original gloss. The downside of this card is the following:

- The card has a slight crease that does not appear to go all the way through to the back. The crease is located at the C in Mickey and runs diagonally for about one inch to the side border (assuming you are viewing the card horizontally). This crease is very hard to see and unless you are looking for it, you will likely not find it.

- This card also has the 91 written in ball point ink on the back. Why was this number written on the back? Well we will never know.

In my opinion this card would likely grade a 2 or 3 when the small crease and back writing is taken into consideration. If the ink wasnt there I assume it would likely grade a 3-4 and with no crease and no ink we may be looking at a 6. But the ink is there and the crease is as well so no need to be thinking about what if. It is what it is.

I feel that this is an incredibly eye appealing Mantle key card and one that has been the centerpiece of my collection for a number of years. I feel you will like this card due to the exceptional eye appeal and the fact you wont be paying the higher prices for a card that looks this nice.

After looking at comps I am asking for what I feel is a fair price of $1200.00 or best offer. I will pay for secured shipping

Please let me know your thoughts and if you have interest please feel free to reach out.

I hope my Flickr skills improve....I have not had to use that hosting site for a very long time.

Thanks for looking

That’s odd. They are showing for me.

I can forward pictures via email. Anyone interested please send me an email at Andy.white63@gmail.com and I will send pictures of the Mantle.

Just a quick bump.

If the pictures still are not showing up please email me at andy.white63@gmail.com and I will send them to you.

Please feel free to make a reasonable offer.

Bump for pics added and a price adjustment.
