1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle #253

Tier 'A' centering. To me the marks in his cap and the registration just make eye appeal fall shy of the top tier. Very high marks overall, though.

Registration renders the image blurry a bit by his cap and neck, but the centering is A- to me and the surface is A or even A+ with no flaws that jump out. The corner wear just whispers hello there.

Killer copy, great centering for this card but not perfect. Also, his name plate has a few lines in it.

A bit out of focus and some scuffing around his hat. Solid centering.

Nice copy. Some snow on the cap and the centering could be better.

Really nice front although I suspect the scan is not showing the (better) colors the card has than what is reflected here.

Very well-centered. Some snow on the cap and in the black name bar. The registration is a little off but the card presents so much better than the technical grade.

The front looks great, but centering is a little off both ways and there is some edge chipping. Back has quite a bit of damage, but hard to find much nicer at this grade level.

Better than the slab Surface wear/spots on the right and centering slightly off left/right but on a horizontal card not as noticeable The image very nice and colors are good but do not POP But take the card and run and enjoy it

Paging Lord Slabington. You have chosen... wisely ;)
