Thanks! The way the mark appears I don't believe it was directly on this card. The way it looks I would presume that whichever card was on top of the mantle received the mark but the indentation went through to the Mantle. There is not ink or any indication of anything being erased, simply indentation.
I picked this card up from my LCS when it came in a massive collection of 50s-70s stuff that also included a 54 Aaron, 69 Ryan, 53 Mantle, and a 55 Koufax as well. I purchased this 57 Mantle and the 55 Koufax and sent them off to PSA around the same time, Koufax came back 4.5 but has since been sold.
