Are Mantle cards given higher grades?

Mantle should be a 2

---reflects very badly on PSA. I hope they monitor the Net54 threads and are mortified at this example. I agree... but even the 2 grade would be somewhat generous. Certainly this example is not a confidence builder encouraging a potential customer to send their cards away for 6 months or more.

The Mantle is an older flip. Also the cards are from two different sets. To be fair you should either compare two '63's or two 53's....not one of each. But yes, the Mantle is overgraded.

The 63 Mantle is a 1 at best. Probably a fake flip because not even PWCC et all cheater effers can get that grade, for that card from that cartel PERIOD

The Feller 4 is very nice. Could have a surface wrinkle that accounts for the lower grade, but what do I know?

Yes, I think the Mantle has a bad grade.

Don't look for logic with that company. They are all over the place, and are not consistent. Yes, cards graded early in the game were not graded as harshly as today. But still I have seen infinite examples of "2s" that look far better than "4s".

And even more altered cards in numbered sabs that sell for far more than legitimate mid-grade examples. It all depends upon who is submitting, and it appears you may not be a "preferred" submitter.
