|  '52 Mantle 
			
			It looks good to me too.  One of the things I look for is the paper underneath the first layer of corner wear.  This one looks consistent with other '52 paper stock and the printing looks good. Ask me why I check the worn edges? I got burned once on a nice looking '51 Bowman Mantle. Looked perfect even down to the wax stains on the reverse. Didn't check the paper stock underneath the first layer.... |
