If it turns out to be a 1953 Topps Mantle you are going to have to remove that "I'm not Doug" reason for editing from your post with the '52 Topps Mathews because I just bought one today.

Congrats, lets see your Mathews. If you do post it do I get congratulated? As far as the scan goes, I see it in every post thats says "I can't see the scan"--weird? And yes it is a 1953 Mickey Mantle PSA 1 but a nice one!

That's the nicest PSA 1 I've seen!

I bought a PSA 3 '53 Topps Mantle so maybe that's why people are getting us mixed up. I do have the scan from eBay, but I'm going to rescan it when it arrives and then post it. I will make sure to put in the post that any congratulations that I get for the card be addressed to you to make up for all of the ones I got for the '52 Mathews you bought from me. I did use some of the money I got from the Mathews to buy it so technically you do deserve some of the credit!

I really can't see the scan in your posts, but I saw the card in your photo album. It's a really nice looking PSA 1. Congratulations!

Thats strange, but yes it is the one in my photo album. It has great centering just like the Mathews but it has a small pinhole which doesn't bug me too much.

The pinhole isn't very noticeable. I thought it was just a brown spot at first. Is that what the mark (MK) qualifier is for or is there something on the back?

There's a small stamp of the original owner and his address on the back. I doesn't detract from the card but rather give it some character. It was also the same owner of the 52 Mantle that I just bought but fortunatley wasn't stamped. Where's your 53 Mantle?

Hopefully it's in the mail! It should be here soon so when I get it, I'll scan it and put it up.
