1952 Bowman Mickey Mantle #101

Nice centering but dull coloring and registration. Solid eye appeal for the grade.

My kind of example right here. Clean & centered.. Soft corners that I don't mind at all. The Mick immediately jumps at you before noticing any minor imperfections in the card.. That says a lot

Centered and registered. Great copy. Surface wear and minor print defects on his face hold it back from a higher review.

This is a solid B in my book. Great centering but surface wear on the face holds the card back from the highest tier. Nonetheless, a handsome example that appears nicer than the technical grade.

Great centering and focus. I am not a corner guy so this is one I really like.

Edges and border opportunities

Really good 3.5. It looks like it's lost its finish like most 50's cards, and has some surface issues that detract from his face up close. But I'd be happy to own this card, and you should be too.

Beautiful, pinpoint centering, no surface issues. Focused. Just corner wear-- and when that is the only flaw on a grade this low, that means a pound for pound champ card.

The perfect centering pops on this card. Surface wear near his mount, chin and ear are harder to notice being against the skin tone. I absolutely love this copy.
