Thank you for the note on the Mantle rookie. I am biased and think it would be hard to find one nicer under a 4.5 - Matt has a 4.5 that smokes most 5's and 6's out there. Mine has an almost invisible surface crease on the upper right portion going towards his hat. Without it I would say it grades a 5/5.5.

The thing I like about the card is that at first glance it looks like it is in the wrong holder - too many Mantle rookie cards are horrificly off center even as 6's and 7's. I would say 70/30 to 80/20 is more common than 60/40.

Thanks, KC.

I agree with you a 100%. Definitely not a 3, imo.

Very nice card!
