What grade do you think this '58 Mantle will receive?

Hello all,

I'm curious what you all think this '58 Mantle will receive from PSA. At first glance, it looks like EXMT. However, on the back, there is a small amount of paper loss. This one has me stumped...

With the paper loss, I think the best you can for would be 2.5. Good luck!

Agreed, that would be best case scenario. I would expect less, 1.5-2 range. It will certainly present well for whatever grade it receives.

That's a nice card!

I believe you may get a 2 out of it. I would be surprised if a grading company grants an additional .5 grade to the numerical grade, since a half grade is designated for high end cards within the actual grade. Sure the card looks great, but paper loss does not exhibit " high end " quality, imo.

It's a great card to own though!

I would go for a 3 at least. The centering is great. I have a 69 mantle that has more paper loss than that and received a 4 from Psa. Best of luck!

I'd love to get a three at this point. I plan on sending it in over the next few weeks. I'll let everyone know what I end up receiving on it. Thanks for the input!
