1968 #280 PSA 6. Looks NM to me. Maybe centering? Very sharp. $595



1960 #350 PSA 5 - grade seems spot on. SOLD

1961 #300 PSA 5 - looks sharper than the 1960 to me. SOLD

1962 #200. Came back E.O.T. I have looked at it all day with a loupe, but can't find the trimming. Measures correctly. I don't know what went on. SOLD

1964 #50 PSA 7 - SOLD

1965 #350 PSA 6. SOLD.

1969 #500 PSA 7 - VERY sharp 7. Centering a hair off, so grade seems right. SOLD

Wow, Philip, I don't understand the 62 either. It could only be the top left, I guess. It's beautiful, anyway. GLWTS of all of them! I personally think the 60 is perhaps Mantle's best card ever.

Bump for update: red heart and 1964 topps are sold. Still have the rest.

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.

I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but I want grader #514 for all my future subs, if I ever sub with PSA again.

So Do I.
Wish I got grades like that.

Whew. This is pretty a**-holey.

[LACardsGuy]

Thanks for that. I have it listed at Ebay with all the info that it was deemed trimmed and scan of the PSA label

Not really assholy. You got generous grades. Enjoy. PSA has hired new personnel to keep up with demand. You are the benefactor of it. Trust me. I have been the benefactor of some gift grades too. I think we all have. Just not so many at once. And not all Mantles.

Great cards.

Take a close look at the top edge of that 62 mantle

[LACardsGuy]

Yeah, I see it now. Was pointed out (with nifty graphics!) above in thread. Selling as trimmed on feebay
