I in no way want to interfere with your sales (so tell me if you want me to remove this post), but thought I would add this here to help in the 'Was it or wasn't it trimmed?' debate. It's an overlay of your 1962 Mantle and a random graded one from ebay. It's not perfectly aligned, but it is close enough to show to the naked eye that the top border looks very questionably shortened, as it even has the telltale 'white' that's often associated with cut cardboard.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
