Well I bought it from a guy high up on the Master registry that said he is working with PSA to have them graded, so I guess I will wait and see...if you look at the 58 premium photo card and this one under a loupe the cardstock, cut, and printing (black pixels) are basically the same.

I hope for you that it is legit, but I have serious doubts that it is not a fantasy piece. I don't doubt for a second that whoever sold it to you genuinely thinks it is real--I know a lot of the registry guys, and they are incredibly trustworthy, good people. Good luck though and please keep me updated on how it turns out. I will hope for you that I am wrong.

Just finished up that 53 Mantle earlier today. Cut junk era commons (with some other more recent commons spattered in).

Your work is incredible! I can only begin to imagine the time and dedication it must take to complete something like that, let alone having it/them turn out as accurate as they do!

Thanks for sharing!

The upper left corner is bumped a bit. That'll lower the grade a little.

Thank you! It went from a hobby, to a passion, to a career pretty quickly. I'm having the time of my life with it right now.

The surface is a bit rough, but it will have to do.


Here are my other Mantles....sorry for the bad photos. I'll have the '62T, 56T, and 52B done at some point in the near future.

Great to hear!

On average, how long does it take to complete one like posted above?

Those are beauties too!
