Sadly Dad died 16 years ago but thankfully he didn't ever see a graded card. Good luck to you as that is a beautiful Mantle. Screw what some third party says

thanks for the compliment on the card ,
I understand about grading , however having a decent looking 1953 Topps Mantle , a high value card, not graded or slabbed many potential buyers get skittish , and will not pay a premium ,
or ask why is it not slabbed ??
vintage pre 1960 mid graded NON MINT cards seem to be very consistent in sale price , raw mid grade cards from same era are all over the place in prices .
