What grade do you think this Mantle is ? I think it’s better then it’s actual grade.
Be as harsh as you want haha. Just want to see if it’s worth a future regrade.
It looks like a old grade as the serial number is not in that high.

Really need a bigger scan, against a darker background...I see one soft corner, so Im guessing 4.5....but would reserve judgment on a better scan.

Yup, much bigger. That image shows up as 2" X 1.5" on my monitor (and I have a big monitor).

Still pretty small...looks like the bottom corners are round though, so definitely below '5'....are you thinking it should be higher?

Probably VG/Ex or Ex at best.

On a scale of 1 to 3,453 I'd give it a 1,539

I was thinking it should be better then the actual grade because the color , surface is nice. It has no surface wrinkles or or creases.
Rsdill2 idk if that’s good or not but thanks!
I appreciate all that have responded as most of you know your cards could be like your kids. You think they are better then they actually are.
I reveal the grade in a bit let’s see if I get anymore responses.
Way too small for me. You need to scan/crop this in order for it to be displayed clearly/large enough for an opinion.

The over all grade is BVS 4
Centering 7.5
Corners 3
Edges 7
Surface 6.5
As I said I think the surface is better then the actual grade. But due to the fact that most of the guesses seem to be in that zone I’ll keep it graded as is. Thanks for all the help to everyone that commented !

I've never seen a BVG card graded more than 1 grade higher than it's lowest subgrade. So, by their standards, a 4 is correct given that the lowest sub grade is a 3. If it were mine, I would crack it out and enjoy it raw.
