I am always all for keeping cards raw, but....
the '52T Mantle is one card that really needs to be slabbed to get top $$
there are so many fakes out there and so many newbies scared of raw cards that he will be leaving $$ on the table if he doesnt get it slabbed.
its easy for us to see its authentic and has honest wear, but to many it will look like a doctored reprint and they wont bid... collectors take chances on lower $$ items but not many newbies will take a chance on a higher $$ item like this, raw
