the store said to me he didn t send it to grade because the grading fee is 1000$ for psa...
its a big reputable store in buisiness since 30 years at least. But i think he will need eventually to send it to psa.

can always pay by credit card and have them guarantee it will pass as authentic at least with PSA..

Yea, but then you are out a substantial amount of money in grading fees and shipment costs if it comes back fake.

It's real. And it's worth $7400 give or take a few hundred.

Is that a guess, or do you know for sure?

And as for the card it looks completely authentic to me all day long.

Real. Real. Real. Fairly certainly would be a PSA 1 if not altered. FYI I purchased a raw 52 Topps Mantle approximately 5 years ago in almost exact condition from a very long time owner who purchased it long before tpg's existed. As it was a direct person to person purchase I had the opportunity to take my time (2 months of continued research, emails, etc and got a reliable and confident knowledge thanks to many helpers). I would not hesitate to buy it if it was $5000ish.

Thats like buying insurance....always costs money unless you use it....id rather pay those fees and shipping ..or just go to a convention where PSA is present then no do it and have a fake card.
