You scored big on that Mantle!!

I won the 56 mantle psa 8, thought I got a nice deal on that card

Also won the 59 Gibson psa 8, it might have been a touch high but I felt it was still the better looking card compared to the 9 and the high grade sgc

David - you got a great deal on that card. Nice looking 56 Mantle, and price was great as a buyer. Probably the best price I have seen on one in a while and some have gone as high as $12-13k in recent months.

thanks KC

i felt like centering was pretty good, it's not perfect but not noticeably off especially for this set. the corners are nice, right side looks a little rough cut and bottom right corner is touched, again not perfect but not noticeable. great color on this card i thought.

i just felt like the card was in the right holder, and it was a perfect card for my set. i was surprised my bid held up but not complaining!

and at $1750 LESS than the last one in PWCC a month ago, well that almost paid for the Gibson!

It makes me smile realizing that if it were a T206 people would be stoked about the uniqueness and would actually be worth far more than a comparable condition card.

Right? How many of you have a Mickey Mantle/Jackie Jensen rookie card?
