1959 Bazooka Mickey Mantle

The incredibly rare Bazooka Mantle becomes even rarer with a superb signature. Of course the card has obvious flaws but this gets some extra points for rarity and the boldness and placement of the auto, which is just about perfect. Taking it all together, solid B for eye appeal.

Crease and surface wear holds it back for me. Auto is nice and bold jumps this into the low B tier.

Love the autograph and the placement. Nice and bold and legible and well placed. The card itself has centering issues, condition issues on the surface wear(especially on the face that takes away from the image and card for me)

Talk about rare. But we're here for eye appeal so will say awesome auto; the vertical crease at bottom holds the overall eye appeal down a bit, the scuffing on top does not bug me.
