You fill out the online form and then later that day some guy with a scratchy voice in a mafioso tone calls you to personally verify that if you win an item that you are good for the money. Then and only then will they activate your account.....at least that was my experience.

They certainly went waaaaaaaaay overboard with the hyperbole. I wish they'd give it a rest and just describe the cards accurately. Why in heck are they calling that '52 Mantle dead centered???? Do we not have eyes, REA???

Yeah you are right!!! It is 52/48 left to right, maybe a touch better and 50/50 top to bottom. Such misrepresentation! Shame on Rob for exaggerating. If Rob is reading this he really should correct the catalog before it goes to print. This is a travesty.

If that's what you're seeing, perhaps it's time to visit an optometrist.

Nice cards

[esd10]

that t210 jackson should not be a sgc 30 it is a sgc 10 because of paper loss on the back

Darren, I can see that while the centering is close to perfect you are correct that it is not literally perfect. The very early previews are always preliminary descriptions and we do often tweak them a little as we find (on our own or in response to feedback) errors to correct or improvements to make. We appreciate feedback. In this case the description will be slightly modified:

“This NM-MT+ 8.5 example is virtually "dead centered" (which is almost unheard of for #311 Mantles), while many of the PSA MINT 9 examples actually have a pronounced natural image "tilt" and/or significant centering issues (pushing 60/40 centering L/R in some cases). Comparing this PSA NM-MT+ 8.5 card to images of PSA MINT 9 Mantles, we believe it would be impossible not to appreciate its superior centering and visual appeal.”


I can’t promise that some of our catalog descriptions won’t be a little over the top – we can’t help it! - but I can promise that our enthusiasm for these items is sincere! We are still hard at work on the catalog and still getting last minute items in daily. I hope you and everyone will enjoy the auction when it comes out.

Sincerely,

Robert Lifson

Not to be rude at all, but most Mantle's are very much off. This one is NiCely Centered! jmho

VERY excited about this auction. As Bart Scott said.....Can't Wait!

[oldjudge]

This Mantle is pretty much dead on (ignoring the slight angle cut) and has better color:
