Help with a Mello Mint back Bender card

February 20 2009 at 5:56 PM
Anonymous  (Login peterosepsa)

 
I have a caramel Mello Mint back bender and it looks authentic but its really really thin. The thickness not the length or width of the card, just the thickness. Is that normal or could it be a fake??
Please help
It does not have any back damage but it does have some front surface damage.

Mello Mints are very thin. Do you have a scan?

Im working on getting a scan, it does have a crease down the middle, Its in Poor-Fr condition, It is has the stripes on the hat. Is this a common card from the set?

Weren't e105's often folded in order to fit into the packaging, or is that only speculation.

A scan will REALLY help.

Mello Mint cards are printed on what seems more like paper stock, rather than card stock. So thin would be consistent with an authentic card.

That looks authentic to me...

Can we get a scan of the back?

And have you illuminated it with black light to see if it fluoresces?

That looks to be the real deal. Nice card.

I bought it to flip, Should I have it graded or just sell it raw?

How much does the surface of this card take down the value? Do you think its a 400.00 card?

I don't think getting it graded is going to do much for you, but then again, it depends what avenue you're going to use to sell it.

I break graded cards out when I buy them... And a few I've sold were first graded to generate a better price. This card is in too rough a shape to justify grading, in my estimation. And I can't imagine it is a $400 card, not even close.

Still, a neat card. Nice type card.

What should I ask for it then?

thickness

Is it a thicker cardboard then normal ? It should nearly bend in half by just touching it.

Thanks

real and

It looks real and I agree with the $225'ish price...the front damage is rather severe.....still a very tough type card of a HOF'er...It's not a commonly seen E105 either. I don't see too many of that card...

Looks legit, but obviously in poor condition.

I'll give you $225 for it as is.

Let me know if interested.
