I got mine a while ago, so I don't remember this specifics. I think there was a small premium for the white back, but nothing all that significant. There are also variations with the 52 Topps (no premium for either but I think Variation B may be a bit more difficult to locate) and 69 Topps (there is a premium for the white letter variation that I remember being a bit larger than the premium for the 56 Topps variation).

Careful if you decide to go after the variations. It is addictive.

I got this beauty in the mail today, part of the Roberto Clemente master set I'm building. I couldn't believe how nice it was once I got it in my hands. When the seller said it was mint, they weren't kidding. This is at least an 8.5, maybe a 9. It looks like it just came off the printing press yesterday, but it's 40 years old.



The surface is flawless, the corners and edges are sharp, and the centering is magnificent.

This will look really good in a SGC holder.

I have been looking for the Mantle/Mays/Maris for a long time and it finally came up for sale as part of a set of what I thought would be all duplicates of stuff I already have. Fortunately, the seller included the color photo, which I have never seen before, and one of the other postcards ended up being a variation that I was previously unaware of. All in all a good purchase.

Stunning Clemente. My favorite card of his, as I am partial to action shots.

nice pick up Chris on that Mantle...i actually saw that last night and was gonna put in a bid, i felt it looked 'strong' went higher than a previous same one.
It was one of those oddball items, that i normally would of got, but passed on.

I got my Greg Businennau lots in just today and got my Hank Aarron RC a few days ago.

Very nice! That card is a bitch to find centered, too. Let me guess, though... the back is fairly OC. Pretty much every '73 Clemente I've seen has an OC back, regardless of grade (likely due to sheet placement, I suppose). Sweet card.

Feel free to let us know how it grades out...

Chuck, ya the back is quite off center. Here's a pic from the auction.



I spent some time looking for one with centering on the front and back, but it only needs to be 90/10 on the back to not affect the overall score. When I send it in to SGC, I'll report back on what it got.

Fairly new to collecting Vintage, although I have always circled it with desire. Won't be quite the swath/breadth some on here employ. Glad I found this site. Very knowledgeable. I did pick up this '56 Mantle to start.

I would love to hear opinions on what grade it might garner.

Hi Corey,

Great pickup. I would say a 3(mk), but always hard to tell what anything will get, particularly when it is something that will require qualifiers.

Alright...this card is not that exciting or earth shattering...but it represents my deep dive into a new set, 1967 Topps. This is my first High Series card...I ended up getting 7 more, all commons, but heading into the abyss. Lol. When I was a kid I had a NM Brooks Robinson that I about fell off the school bus when I first discovered it's worth in the old Beckett handbook...I wish I had that card right now!! Coming soon I suppose....



Wish me luck!

Thank you both for your responses. What effect does the MK qualifier have post grading? I believe I read that an OC qualifer basically has the effect of siphoning up to 2 points off a grade. I guess if I think about it, it depends on where the mark is and to what extent. Just curious what effects the MK and OC qualifiers generally have on a grade.

Another ridiculously tough card to find in nice shape AND centered.

The MK qualifier would have the same effect in most collectors' eyes (ie. a 2 grade deduction). This 2 point deduction became the hobby standard mainly due to PSA's set registry, as that's how they "scored" cards with qualifiers.

Still, like you said, when it comes time for someone to pay for a card, the price reduction for a mark will often be affected by location and severity (pencil marks on the reverse not viewed as badly as marks on the front, etc.).

The mark on your Mantle in fairly unobtrusive (small and in the border), and I agree with the previous guesses about the card grading about a 3 MK. One of the nice things about your copy is the great centering.
