Yes, me too... Im a PSA holder ..cracker .. kind of guy... its a shame you sometimes pay more because a card is in a holder..although sometimes is funny...a guy selling a PSA enclosed card..and he only wants like 5 or 7 bucks for it..probably what it cost to grade the thing !

The accurate grade for my card is probably PSA 4 or 5 MK ST. It has decent corners. It has the indentions of a pencil mark. It has a stain.

Have you ever seen a card graded with two qualifiers? My guess is that they just gave it Authentic because it has the two problems. But they did say they could have assigned the grade of PSA 1 MK. Who knows? Who cares? It is a low grade Mantle.

Those are three great cards in any condition. Good luck with your sale.

Thanks, sbfinley.

The Berk Ross sold last night. The other two are still available at the reduced price. I have edited the post to reflect the reduced price only and not the original price.

Where's the reduction? Wasn't this the price from yesterday? Still would like to do something with the Topps Mantle. PM me please.

[judgebuck]

The reduced price of $3,700 on the Mantle and $1,100 on the Ruth was down from the $3,900 on the Mantle and the $1,250 on the Ruth that I had originally asked when I first posted the cards. I edited the first post to reflect the reduced prices.

Any offers on either card before I shut this down?

Thanks to those of you who expressed interest and to the collector who bought the 1952 Berk Ross Mantle.
