I also never noticed the clutch crease on Matt's Mantle, but after he mentioned it I can spot it in the upper right corner (very faint).

ok chuck thanks i will fix it.

here is my big scan of my 52 Mantle. The line in the mickey face is in the color... not a crease. This card look like a 4 to 6 grade on the front eyes appeal . sharp corner, no crease, good centering, beautifull bright color.

ah, there we go... very nice, Nelson! You will not find a nicer "1", that's for sure.

Awesome cards Matt, Nelson, Al, and Chris. Never get tired of looking at your PSA 1 Nelson, beautiful card for the grade, and I love lower grade cards.

Brian, I would send one your way, but I don't want you to get addicted.

Thx everyone
I think it is probably one of the nice graded 1 mantle for the front eyes appeal

The back is not ugly..only little glue or paper lost at couple place.

But i think perhaps upgrade in the futur my mantle.

Ehh, with something as nice as that, I cannot see the point in upgrading. Who cares what the back looks like? And, I cannot imagine it is that bad. That said, I don't think I have ever upgraded a card. I downgraded one once--I find postcards that have been filled out much cooler than blank ones.

OP- G.Vezina
Upgrade??
Well, take a look at mine PSA2(MK) and compare it to yours.
Yeah, yours has a really NICE front, and mine has that crease and scruffing.
My back looks very good...and yours??? paper loss..
Pending the back..i'd say yours should be or as equal to mine..i definetly think it could bump a 1/2 grade...but like i say
paperloss' is how much loss??
Take it to PSA...and liekly gets a 1.5-2.5

Thats like a very nice 2...too nice..i dont see creases, just scruffing..a lot better than 2
Unless its at the mid-to bottom right going thru the box

MattyC---your has vibrant color---awesome looking..for just 1 crease..i seen 4's look worse.

Thanks for the kind words. You're right - no creases (very small spider wrinkle on the right side border) and fairly decent centering for a Mantle. When I bought it, I figured it got the "2" because of the 'scruffing'.
