The 53T is enormously popular among collectors and widely desired. It's absolutely a "Tier One" Mantle card, among all his basic issues. In fact it's the favorite of all among some guys I know. Add to that how rarely it surfaces in a strong state. The centering is routinely miserable. The spotlight is on it all the more lately, with the rookie and the 311 so hotly contested, and accordingly soaring in cost by the day. With the watershed sale of the Empire State Collection's 8.5 grade 53T for nearly 100k, and the PSA 8s flirting with the $50,000 barrier now, that spotlight is only brighter.
I have to mention that specimen shown above is so fantastic; great job finding that jewel. I can't see the cause for the qualifier on my phone. Deep, rich color and rare centering as well. Props. Last edited by MattyC; 02-04-2016 at 02:04 PM.
