How would you rate these Mantle cards? The Post cereal card is the Canadian version from 1962. Approximate value?

Shows what I know. Except for the tiny stain on the back of the card, I would have thought the Post cereal card was worth the most. Even though it's Post, it's centered nicely and I thought I trimmed it pretty good back in 1962. :-)

It's also wrinkled, no?

Not at all.

It may be worth sending those into SGC for $30 a card. They are respected for vintage and the turnaround times are 20-25 days. Much easier to compare prices once you get that grade.

Look along the right edge in the picture you posted. You can see a crease in this area on the back of the card.

In looking at it more closely with my old eyes I do see a little creasing. Good eye.
