1962 Topps #18, Manager's Dream, Mickey Mantle - Willie Mays, near mint condition. This card just sold at auction for $3,099 - see auctioned here:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/325586687210. That card had a line across the players hip line and some spotty discoloration to the left of Mantle's head. Mine does not have that and is pretty much identical in every other respect. If you are one of the 43 outbid, this is thoughtfully priced.

All my cards are graded based on these factors:  Centering, Corners, Edges and Surface.  They give each attribute a grade of 1-10 then combine those to give the card a final grade of 1-10.  Anything above a 9 is worth book value or greater as BGS 9 (known as "Mint 9") is the condition expected of the card out of the pack. www.cardboardconnection.com Entire article is here https://www.cardboardconnection/collecting-101/sports-card-grading-101  Here's another article about pre-grading and self-grading cards.  I used this method.

Much to the surprise of novice collectors, getting cards graded does not always increase their value.  In fact, most cards, once graded, will return less than if they were sold raw. www.justcollect.com

I will be happy to provide you with more pictures of any aspect of the cards posted here and will do some negotiating of the prices listed. However, none of them will be "professionally" graded.  I have too many of them (coming) to waste my time and money doing that.

All original estimates listed are from the psa.com site that is one of two of the biggest (and most expensive) card graders and sellers in the industry.
