1958 Topps Mickey Mantle #150

When my cycloptic eye focuses on Mantle's left ear, it is clear that what collectors call "the registration" is off. This becomes even more apparent by comparing this example to others with better-focused images. The centering falls into what most would deem the highest eye appeal tier. The corners do not distract the eye with any obvious rounding. The faint "snow" might be enough to decrease the eye appeal from God Tier to A+, for example.

Really pretty example with no obvious issues.

Great centering, which is tough to find on this card. Some minor surface or print defects are the only issue I notice, but they don't bother me much.

Centering carries this to a win on eye appeal with surface speckling the only detracting factor.

Centering is dynamite. while some image focus and slight stray print on his cap are the only flaws I take into account.

This centering is amazing. Mild focus issue but I can look past that.

Clean and bright and most things Right I enjoy the colors and the image and the nice bright and centered borders Surface wear holds it down slightly but otherwise totally enjoyable

Beautiful card. Centering and colors are great. No real issues. Should be a 7.

This centering is as good as it gets on a card I know so well. There is a mild focus/registration shift visible most readily in his ear that I can cite, yet that is really it for me here. Beautiful example that punches above its weight by a wide margin.

Snow on the cap and a couple pink fisheyes are what I notice first. The image looks a touch blurry. Colors and centering are strong.
