I think the Mantle is a 5 and the Yaz possibly a 5.5. The corners on both are too round to pull a 6.

For $16 on that Mantle, I'd say you did well. You can still get $60-$70 out of it.

Yeah, and I was being gracious with my estimate and I figured so.

I know their vintage grading is really, really tough so you have to look even harder and be harder on any flaws that exist.

I know this first-hand because of the grade I got on my 1968 Nolan Ryan RC. Everyone I've shown the card says it should be at least a 6 with how sharp the corners are and how the surface and edges are also amazing. The centering of the card is what dragged it down, but I still do think it's a shade under-graded at 5.5

I've got other cards I'm looking at buying, but this guy has some solid vintage stuff and I wanted to at least check it out to see what type of condition they actually were in and what others thought.
