Furthermore, there is a Net54 member whose original Mantle has the same "scratch". Perhaps, if he is reading this, he will post his Mantle here.

Irv is the Net54 member I referred to in the prior response to you. Check-out Post #28 in this thread.... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...2+topps+mantle

The "surface scratch" on his 1952T Mantle is remarkably similar to the one on my Mantle card.
