Beautiful card! The 54 Bowman is a personal favorite.

Okay, took a while but I can finally share the best centered 1951 Mick I ever found, and focused, too. Had been hoping to get these three cards centered for many years, as they are notorious for poor centering. Need a new hobby goal now, lol.

That is a beautiful 57T Mantle.

Matty C those are some bad Ass Cards Bro!! Love them

Been buying more Mantles with my COMC profits while waiting for PSA to grade the 40 or so I have there (in a bulk submission of 136 cards).

Been a busy Jan/Feb for me... ;-)

Is that a record above? The Mantle image on it, with nothing but clouds above him, is really striking.

Wow...sweet centered Mantles. I'm envious. It sucks that the PSA paper flip on the 52 would grade a 1 lol

Did you just pick up that 51 Bowman? I think I was looking at it last week on eBay and almost pulled the trigger on it! Absolutely gorgeous card.

You don't see this grade come up very often.

Caveat emptor on '53 PSA 9. Seller does not sell baseball cards and has some negatives. No thanks.

Very nice cards guys! You both must be stoked to add those to your collections!

He must have changed something up as I only see 100% with no neutral or negatives?

if legit, is that card really worth $350,000 or close to it?

[swarmee]

100% is only in the past year. If you look at the "All Feedbacks" tab and go back to the early ones, there are a few that are sketchy and have responses.

Cert # checks out with having the hologram flip front and reverse barcode, plus scans aren't stolen from an auctionhouse. AHs don't photographs fingers in with the cards...

As to value, PSA SMR is $235,000 but who knows with a high end card like this and only 2 higher.

unreal!!

VERY excited to have picked this up in Goodwin last night. Centering is perfect, and I don't know that I've ever seen better registration on any '53 Bowman card, Mantle or otherwise. I paid high for it but hopefully it will be worth it once I get the card in-hand. My '53 set had stalled because I could never find a Mantle that I liked...now I can start it up again!

[ALR-bishop]

Great card Dan. Great set too
