1952 Mantle VS PSA 10 Munson

[glynparson]

out like candy on halloween to the big submitters there would be far more 10s available than there are. This argument is laughable. The shell was believed to have been enhanced by many in the thread. I have submitted on my own and through one of the hobbys leading dealers and submitters and I saw no favors when submitting through the larger dealer. Because Joe got a card that may or may not have been enhanced bumped two grades shows no favoritism. Joe sells cards that are not always maxed out in grade. I can assure you people have bought cards from him and gotten bumps. Just like he did in the Probstein auction. It is the nature of the Beast when subjective grading holds so much weight. If the Market would mature long enough every card would eventually end up maxed out in a holder probably one grade higher or two then it should be. Just the nature of subjective grading. Not sure if I would or would not do the trade but I would look into it, and see what kind of Market there currently is for the Munson. Love it or hate it the market is what it is.

....one could consider trading a lesser condition 52 Mantle for the Munson card in the first post of the Topps 1970 Rookie Artist Proof thread

I agree with all those who said keep your Mantle. As if you need more ammunition for your decision - from my experience most collectors prefer Munson's '71 card to the '70, rookie anyway.
