An exercise in frustration and a lesson in the dangers of cracking cards out of holders we present this beautiful 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle. A self-submitted ungraded card the grade initially assessed by PSA was VG/EX 4 a grade that the submitter felt was far too conservative for the visual appeal of the card. The submitter felt the card was a lock 5 and perhaps a 6 the MK qualifier due to a very light stray mark on the side. Sadly when cracking the PSA holder the card popped out and folded right in half! The result a three point downgrade. Despite the flaw the card still presents wonderfully a clean sharp card with EX or EX/MT eye appeal. The light mark on the reverse is visible upon close inspection and of course the offending crease reduces the grade as far as it can be reduced. Regardless the nicest 1 you will find.
