1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle #253

All is perfect except the centering, and the off centering here does really leap out especially when your eye looks at that bottom border. The right side just rises up so much higher. It would bug me after a while. Cannot deny the beautiful image and overall sharpness of course. Just put a wrinkle on the back and fix that centering and we have God level!

Very strong eye appeal yet that tilt is severe and does grab the eye. I would trade corner sharpness here for lessening the degree of tilt and the card would overall look prettier to me. Fantastic registration, though.

way too much tilt for an 8

Absolute beauty. Would be GT with out the bottom right tilt up.

Reg and focus on this card are absolutely surreal. It's all I see... Paired with solid centering. Sure the tilt is there and yes it's technically graded high; But looking past that, this is a top tier example.

I've been trying to find one of these in forever. Love the card but to pay for an 8 grade with such an obvious tilt? Pass on this one.

The registration here and overall brightness rises above the noticeable tilt. Pleasant to look at for sure, though I would seek to trade out corner sharpness for better centering with the same image quality.

Beautiful copy. The tilt takes it out of god tier but a nice one.

the image and colors pop. Card looks great slight center opportunity mostly top to bottom but nice looking card
