A word about the Mantle card: You’re likely to find Mantle cards graded ex or even ex-m that are less attractive than the Mantle in this set, which we have graded vg-ex. The centering of this card is within a hair’s width or two of perfection. The colors are bright, and the card is free of printing imperfections except for a pencil-point-sized dot on Mantle’s hat. The corners are consistent with at least an ex-m card. The card has a small crease in the lower left corner, and there are several tiny indentations in the upper right visible only when the card is held at the correct angle to light. There is a minor wax stain on the back. If you’re a collector, you’ll like this set.
Winning Bid $5,069.
