Help with a Mello Mint back Bender card

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>I have a caramel Mello Mint back bender and it looks authentic but its really really thin. The thickness not the length or width of the card, just the thickness. Is that normal or could it be a fake??<br>Please help<br>It does not have any back damage but it does have some front surface damage.

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Im working on getting a scan, it does have a crease down the middle, Its in Poor-Fr condition, It is has the stripes on the hat. Is this a common card from the set?<br><br>

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>A scan will REALLY help.<br><br>Mello Mint cards are printed on what seems more like paper stock, rather than card stock. So thin would be consistent with an authentic card.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>That looks authentic to me...<br><br>Can we get a scan of the back?<br><br>And have you illuminated it with black light to see if it fluoresces?

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>How much does the surface of this card take down the value? Do you think its a 400.00 card?

Posted By: <b>Rob D.</b><p>I don't think getting it graded is going to do much for you, but then again, it depends what avenue you're going to use to sell it.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>I break graded cards out when I buy them... And a few I've sold were first graded to generate a better price. This card is in too rough a shape to justify grading, in my estimation. And I can't imagine it is a $400 card, not even close.<br><br>Still, a neat card. Nice type card.

Posted By: <b>Dan Koteles</b><p>Is it a thicker cardboard then normal ? It should nearly bend in half by just touching it.<br><br>Thanks<br>Dan Koteles

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>$225-ish

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>It looks real and I agree with the $225'ish price...the front damage is rather severe.....still a very tough type card of a HOF'er...It's not a commonly seen E105 either. I don't see too many of that card...

Posted By: <b>Jero</b><p>Looks legit, but obviously in poor condition.<br><br>I'll give you $225 for it as is.<br><br>Let me know if interested.<br><br>jerokris@sbcglobal.net<br>
