1952 Topps Mantle - what would it grade?
I have owned this 1952 Topps Mantle for about 20 years. I have never sent anything in for grading, and I'm not sure I want to get this card graded unless I ever plan on selling it. However, I would like to get opinions on what grade people think it would receive.
The pictures are the best I can do right now on my phone. Centering is pretty good, there is no surface wear and there is even corner wear. There are several creases on the front which can be seen in varying degrees in the picture. All of the creases are fairly light. The one in the top, middle extends down through his face and just past his chin, but can be hard to see past the hat when looking at the card unless it is held at a bit of an angle. The crease to the right in the blue is probably the most noticeable one on the card. The crease that comes from the bottom and extends through the a in Mantle is the only one that can also be seen and felt on the back of the card.
Let's hear some thoughts about what grade it would get.
