|  Opinions and a Mantle and Mays please I picked up at a LCS. 
			
			May have overpaid, but only BC I figured these were "8" candidates. Opinions? Front  Back

			8 (PD) for the dots on Mantle's nose.  7 due to centering and corners on Mays.

			IMO - lower right corner will keep the Mantle from an 8

|  Yup ..yup ; that corner is an expensive touch...so 7 or just maybe a 7.5 ....I don't suspect any trimming though....one of my favorite Mantles and tough to find with such decent centering....those colors would look great in an SGC slab.... ..good pick-ups... .. |
