Is this the same card?
 

This is a '52 Mantle I used to own.

This Mantle is in the upcoming Heritage auction(same one?). I have no problem with it being resubmitted for a higher grade (assuming it is the same card), but the corners seem to have gotten a little sharper with age.

Are you speaking of the card in the other thread and being sold by a 1 feedback seller? Yours looks to be centered better if that is the question..

So that wasn't it, but I think your old one is centered bettter than that 7....to me, and many others, centering is very important. It's almost as important (to us) as the clarity of the photo is to N172 collectors.

Very close. Same tilt. But the bottom one seems to have just a slightly larger top border.

Need better scans.

I think I agree that the ratio of top to bottom border is slightly different but they sure look similar.

The HA seems to have a little speck to the left of his hat (as you look at the card) that the REA does not, as well.

Both have identical specks in the bottom border, though.

Very similar but different cards.

Close but different

I am missing what this is supposed to show. The only thing I see changing aside from a slight color change is the flip.

The top and bottom border size are also changing...definitely not the same card.

Ah, youth. OK.

Didn't do it for me either.

The top and bottom border widths change in that animated image overlay. Another way to easily see it is the black top border line moves up and down. Not the same card. Same black dot and degree of tilt, which many pairs of Mantles can have, but two different cards.

very close but different in my opinion
on the top one there is a little yellow dot next to Mick's left ear. I don't see that on the 7.

I don't really see the difference either--if they're not the same, its as close to twins as you're ever likely to see.

Best,

Larry

There appears to be a difference in the top left corner as well.

Close Jay, but no cigar :D
