The card is not Mint. If a 1952 Topps Mantle is genuinely mint and graded, it will be in a PSA, SGC or similar holder. I don't care what justifications the seller may give (great service, close to home, Joe Orlando refused to pet his dog), no seller is going to throw away thousands of dollars of money to get a genuinely mint 1952 Topps Mantle graded by PGS.

Simply ask the seller to explain to you why he didn't get this card graded by PSA, knowing that a PSA 9 or 10 would sell for thousands and thousands of dollars more.
