1962 Topps Mickey Mantle #200

The main image an color is solid but as you move out from the center the card starts having condition issues that hold it down

The image and color look great. Centering is off with a tilt. The black line at the bottom and white marks on the left do distract a little.

That black line kneecaps eye appeal to me at a B+, then we have centering that's shifted. The crisp image is a big plus as it holds attention well, and the edge chip on left kind of draws my eye back to it on a longer look. The image will keep this at a B and no lower, which is solid second tier eye appeal.

Centering is the only thing that bothers me here. The rest of the presentation is solid.

Image and colors look very strong. Centering is shifted to the left and has a subtle tilt. The black line running along the black bottom border is noticeable as well.

Centering is off, that chipping on the left border grabs my eye, and it does concede the dreaded "bottom black line." The image remains pretty and crisp, and the corners and rest of the edges are pleasing, which keeps eye appeal in the second tier.
