1953 Topps 82 Mickey Mantle for sale RAW gem

[Mpags91]

Up for sale is an authentic 1953 Topps 82 Mickey Mantle RAW. Centering is dead on, corners are slightly rounded, there are two chips on the outer white border, and no there was not a number 2 written on the back top right corner. That is a weird illusion from the camera I'm not an expert, but from what I've seen and researched I would imagine PSA would grade it around a 2. Pictures are attached, local pick up is preferred, but I am willing to explore safe shipping and payment options.

Asking price $1,800.00 OBO

PSA is NOT grading that a 4 or 5. Not with corners like that.

[ullmandds]

this should be in the BST...not the main page.

[ullmandds]

ya more likely would grade a 2

[Mpags91]

okay thanks i'll update

[111gecko]

Welcome to the board. Might be easier to post an asking price than claim it's a 4-5 when it s a 2-2.5

Do you guarantee it will grade and not be altered?....hahaha...just a little off topic humor.

ZING! Is this the next viral saying on this board? Like Budweiser's "What's UPPPPP?"

[Mpags91]

Why would I alter it? My cards are genuine. Also, like I said, I'm not an expert. I'm looking to sell a nice card. I'm not claiming it's a 4-5. I will edit that to a 2-3. You guys are sensitive. If anyone is interested in making an offer please reply. Thanks.

[swarmee]

The reason we're sensitive is that you're a new person nobody knows posting a card for sale on the DISCUSSION BOARD for PRE-WAR CARDS and highly overexaggerating the condition. You should be a little more apologetic. Click the red triangle button to report your own post and have it moved to the Buy/Sell/Trade section.

Or just ask the mods to delete it and start from scratch. Maybe use your first real post to introduce yourself without selling anything yet. Oh, and once you start stating any kind of opinion, you have to post your full name here.... Have a good one.

Edit: and how would we do local pickup when you don't even list a location? You need some assistance learning how to sell things on the internet.

[Mpags91]

Not here to make friends. I'm here to sell my cards. If i could edit this post I would. It's a learning curve. Chill out man.

Edit: Also, I have no desire to give out my name or location to people like you. That's my right. I'm not here to scam. I'm here to learn the forum and sell my cards. I don't quite understand the rude reception and bullying. Anyone interested will privately message me, and only then will they receive details about my items for sale and their location. Have a nice day buddy.

Good thing you're not here to make friends because that would be a bad start.

[brianp-beme]

Beware all...friends are just fiends hiding their ill intentions with a 'r'.

eBay may be your best outlet if you don't want to "make friends". This board is community first, BST second.

That's generous with the paper loss, staining and indentations.

[bigred1]

When i first read the description i thought it was a joke, guess not based on replies.

[Bpm0014]

That card will grade a 1. Maybe a 1.5 tops on a great day.

[ALR-bishop]

...and welcome to the board

[Republicaninmass]

Maybe GEM will grade it a 4?

[Leon]

I was away for a few hours and/or just didn't pay any attention to this thread. However, this is quite entertaining for the moment. LOL.,...

[bobbyw8469]

I think it's a nice card and I like the centering on it. I am going to say it's a '2'.

[marzoumanian]

This was my laugh of the day. Like, amazing back and forth.

Peace and love to all and stay healthy.That's what counts.

RAW. Centering is dead on, corners are slightly rounded, and two minor chips on the outer white border. I'm not an expert, but from what I've seen and researched I would imagine PSA would grade it between a 4-5...

If you can read the name, it's a 6 at minimum.

If that's the case, I might have a few 9's and 10's in my collection. I guess I'm rich now!

Yeah, it almost feels like this is programmed entertainment for the board. Wonder what we get after this thread hits 10k views too!!!

And as it happens....I only buy from "friends"

Yeah, good luck with that.

[Stampsfan]

I guess that means paying via PayPal “Friends & Family” is out for this transaction.

[Nunzio11]

I'd like to get a look at the Jackie in the picture also. Seems to have at least one rounded corner very similar to the Mick.

[stlcardsfan]

Take it

I don't know. This could be a brilliant sales approach. How many PM's do you think he has received?

[Mpags91]

Yeah it's hilarious. How can I edit my post? I can't seem to find that option.

Bottom right corner, click on the EDIT button.

You can also request the forum moderator, Leon, to move your post to the appropriate bst section. Or, let this one die and repost yourself. This community is gun shy to these types of posts, but also highly judgemental based on past experiences. Might want to ease in with an introduction as a new member first.

[Tyruscobb]

I’ll give the seller credit for accurately describing the card’s defects. However, I think a 4 to 5 grade is a little generous, assuming the card is even authentic.

I wish the seller good luck. He may have difficulty selling ungraded four figure cards without a name, location, or someone vouching for him.

[Frank A]

I'm just sitting here at the keyboard LMAO. Where do these people come from?

Kamikaze sales approach?

I would guess a 1.5 to 2. It's a nice looking card.

Edit....didn't see the little paper loss on the border. 1 to 1.5

[Bigdaddy]

I wanna bring the heater, and announce my presence with authority.

Lol. Yeah. I would bet $50 he has offers in his pm though. It's the cat to antifreeze syndrome. Dangerous, but damn it tastes good.

[HRBAKER]

I might be interested but the zipper is broken on my fanny pack and I can't get to my wallet.
