STOLEN 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle from recent National Convention

[danmckee]

You can move this to the post-war section if you like or place it in all of the boards, the more exposure the better.

"1952 topps Mickey Mantle Psa 4 card serial number 40427314 stolen at the National from Jeff Foy, known as cardcountry. Took the card right from his table at the National."

This has been posted on the CU boards but let's get the word out so that the scumbag thief cannot sell this card!

Also please notify your advertisers that are auction houses Leon, that would be a huge help!

Thanks for your cooperation

That's so messed up. I will keep an eye out as a victim of a recent theft I know the helpless empty feeling.

So, going one step ahead of this thug, he probably tries to crack it and sell it raw since the PSA # will be easily traced.

In that case, time to note any significant marks on the card. The dot on the left border. The top and bottom left corners. Matched with the OC shift left on the back.

yes...also note the possibly trimmed lower rt corner!

Pete,

Good eye, it looks like it may be trimmed.

Hopefully, they will catch the thieves. Also, wasn't there a SGC 20 1952 topps Mantle stolen as well? Anyone have a pic of that?

I doubt the card is trimmed. It appears the PSA logo in the bottom right corner is causing the card to appear short.

not that the point of this thread is to argue trim or not...but despite the psa logo...the cut looks funky to me. this will make this card easier to identify.

I was thinking the same thing. At the very least that card will never grade a 4 again.

the rumours I heard say 3 52 Topps Mantles, of which this was the best one, were stolen during the show.

I am seeing a slight wrinkle, or a scratch, on the front surface, upper right hand corner, a few centimeters in length, slanting from upper left to lower right. Is that a scratch on the slab, or actually a blemish on the card? Because if it's on the card, that, coupled with the dot on the left border, is going to make this card pretty much instantly recognizable.

BTW, there was a discussion about this on Sports Card Forum as well.

I posted scans of Jeff's card, front and back, and a link back to his initial post on the CU boards.
