Does anyone know anything about these?

I recently picked this one up.

Does anyone know if SGC/PSA grades them???

Good question. I've had one for years sitting in my album, no idea what it is worth, if anything. I did recently pick up this one:



1954 All Star Photo Pack. I've got it listed for sale on eBay but will also consider a trade for a 1952 Topps Mays.

So far my only Mantle, but I got my eye on one or two more:

That`s a hell of a nice looking "53" Sir, awesome eye appeal and something I`d really like to have in my collection. Haven`t added anything for a while until recently. Picked up this "52" Berk Ross (sorry for the lousy pics) Mick from a fellow board member, thanx again Dan. Kind of a poor man`s 51 Bowman, which has left the dock for small fries like me, but I enjoy it. Keep them coming guys never enough Mantle.

After acquiring a number of lower grade/raw Mantle's over the past year, I am now SLOWLY looking to improve on some of them. Prices are keeping me in the 2-4 range, but I'm making progress.

Nice additions Jonathan, that Bowman is exceptional and should be a keeper for years to come. Really great examples for any Mantle collection, enjoy those Sir .

Adam, that might be a '54 All Star Photo Pack or it could be from a Yankee Team issued photo pack. It depends on the size. It's discussed in this thread - https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=297589

A couple of new pick ups.

A 1960s item for eyesight (outside and inside). IT's 3-1/4 by 6-1/8 inches folded.

The other item is stationary from Holiday Inn. It's 5-1/4 by 8-1/2 inches.

Wow Chris that`s one hell of a card. Berk Ross`s are kind of a niche for me and your Mantle is one of the nicest I`ve ever seen. Pretty sure there`s never been a graded 10 Mantle, actually not many Mantles at all. Thinking yours looks every good as the few 8`s around and hopefully the TPG`s think the same, who knows, maybe even higher ! Image is crisp, centering very good and the corners are as sharp as possible, best of luck Sir and looking forward to seeing the outcome.

Thanks, I’ll post the grade once I get it back. Just hoping psa is not to hard on me like they have been recently.
