1956 Mantle Advice Needed Sgc 96

[begsu1013]

hadn't read the entire thread, but

here's a formula i tend to stick to:

1. submit in holder for a cross. be sure to designate a 9 as minimum grade.*
2. do not expect it to cross the first, second or third time.
3. after the 3rd strike, try a minimum grade of 8.5
4. repeat.
5. once/if it crosses submit for a bump a couple of times.


i would not advise cracking anything out of that magnitude.

have had several nice examples cross/bump using this formula.

it does carry some significant consideration in submittal fees, but the eventual landing of a 9 will most definitely recoupe any and all resources and then a whole lot more.

tell me how southern italy was and send some limoncello and a post card.

* this is very important. if you do not mark a 9 as minimum grade, they will crack it out and grade at whatever they seem fit. as long as you mark a 9 as the MG then your card will stay encapsulated in the sgc holder.
