Default In general no

From a market value perspective altered cards in general are poor investments. If you were talking just about any other 52 there wouldn't even be a "but", but you are talking about a 52 Mantle - the poster card for post war cards. If you get a nice eye appeal "A", I think you'll be okay.
For myself, I would tend to make exception for a super rare card that doesn't get offered sooner than one I couldn't currently afford.

I am accepting select private consignments of quality vintage cards (raw or graded) and collecting "want" lists for higher end ($1K+) vintage cards.
