A Long awaited beauty!!
It's been so long since I've even seen a 59 cream back Mantle, I had forgotten I was still looking for one!! There are only a total of 53 graded 1959 Venezuelan Mantle examples between PSA and SGC combined - and that includes BOTH gray and Cream backs. While neither grading company differentiates, those who collect are well aware of the monstrous difference in supply of the cream backs. I think it's been 10+ years since I've seen one available. While this one has multiple creases and is fairly graded a 1, The centering and eye appeal are off the charts! So excited to add this bad boy to my small but quality Venezuelan PC.
