How does this RH Mantle "appear"?

The raw 1953 Topps Mantle appears as if there is a possible pinhole near the top center - not sure if it was photoshopped out

The description says there is a pin hole. I don't see what the issue is with this card

Thank you James. That is clearly in the description.

I think this thread started in the right direction where a case was pleaded and vetted. Some great points were raised on both sides. Enough to come up with a conclusion about the case one way or another. Let's leave it as that. If this was a water cooler post that whose topic was based on opinions, then let it be such for that setting. But in this case, this is plea for one's business, one's livelihood that affect not only that person but for that person's family. We should respect that and not pile on for the sale of piling on.

This plea is from a family of accountants who earn extra money by screwing over collectors in our hobby. I wouldn't say we're piling on just for the sake of piling on, but rather in hope that the information and opinions shared here might help other collectors from getting screwed over as well. Especially since they will no longer have the eBay and PayPal protections to fall back on.

Please correct to "alleged" Accountants -- has anyone verified that Daniel and Justin attended and were granted degrees from Auburn University yet?

No, seriously though, aside from a few wobbles in this thread I think the board is serving its function well -- as the safeguard for folks who really care about the health of the hobby.
Jesse's concerns about reliable recourse for bidders who might be disappointed with their winnings are legitimate, especially in light of an AH with zero track record or existing ties to the community.

The Battles Brothers deserve credit for consistently fighting their corner and not running away, as well as criticism for being evasive regarding their grading and policies regarding raw cards.
Also severe judgment for picking a ridiculous name for their auction house, albeit a very minor transgression in the grand scheme of things

Joshua,

Thank you very much. I couldn't have said it any better.

Thanks,
