1954 Redheart Mickey Mantle

Case study in flaws not tanking eye appeal. Crease and fish eye no doubt hurt eye appeal. But less so than anyone would think at first blush.

Stunning bold color makes up for the visible crease

The crease and the prominent PD detract from a well-centered and -colored image.

The crease on the upper right and the fisheye on the left near the border does draw my eye. Image and colors are very strong.

Very strong. With just one of the PD in left blue or the crease, this easily enters the A Tier. Superb centering and image which matter most to me.

Nice copy here w/ strong color and registration. What looks like a subtle crease across the top left and what appears to be a fish eye along the left border are my notes.

fish eye on left near border and crease diagonal right bother some but to me they both blend in well enough(not perfect) as to minimize the issue. I get enjoyment from the solid image and the strong colors and the nice size borders
