Yeah, it was graded a 4 at a show, seems harsh to me.

The more and more I get into the 50's sets, i really love the Topps '54 and '55 sets and it makes me sad there is no Mantle in those sets. They are SO much better than their Bowman counterparts! I'm sure I'm not the first to have this opinion, but it was on my mind today when going through some 50's cards.

How nice would Mick look in those sets!

Peter, is there a small crease, or a front or back crease/spider, I am not seeing? Perhaps the grade was given because of the white mark on the bat, extending to the sky.

Regardless, at that grade, the price would have been substantially lower, enabling the buyer to get much more eye appeal for much less moo-lah.

I agree, Peter, the second card does look worse but, imo, based on what I can see of it, likely should have been graded a 3?

Edit: Meant to add, and again, just my opinion, but I do believe the Mantle's, May's, Robinson's, Ruth's, etc, get graded a little tougher than commons, or at least that is what it seems to me.
