Lol. Nice Ted. A 1cent 52 Topps mantle would be my favorite card also.

I was waiting to see this Mantle. I LOVE that you still have this card Ted.

Hi Pete

That diagonal "scar" from Mickey's left ear (on down) is not a crease, but a surface scratch.

And, I don't know what caused it. All my other 1952 TOPPS cards which I originally collected (Spring 1952 to Fall 1952) average VgEx to Ex.

Furthermore, there is a Net54 member whose original Mantle has the same "scratch". Perhaps, if he is reading this, he will post his Mantle here.

Irv is the Net54 member I referred to in the prior response to you. Check-out Post #28 in this thread.... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...2+topps+mantle

The "surface scratch" on his 1952T Mantle is remarkably similar to the one on my Mantle card.
