How TPG�s handle surface scratches?

I'd just leave it raw. Your judgement is better than theirs anyway.

Agreed. I have no plans to send it in. I�ve been grading cards longer than PSA anyway.

I am comfortable calling it VG-EX. Maybe worse if it weren�t centered as well, but that is good as is the color. Corners are somewhere in the 4-5 range, but as often as that is a point of contention everyday now on graded vintage, I�m not going to speculate. It could be either. The card is not perfect, but still has a lot of eye appeal IMO.

I am trying to get more comfortable with lower grade postwar (3-5 range) that still retains eye appeal and doesn�t set me back the $$ that �upper� mid grade (5.5 - 6.5...) normally does. In the case of a Mantle card, that can become a couple of hundred dollars or more pretty quickly.
