1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle #253

The image around his face and hat is very crisp and in focus. Unfortunately, the centering and the fish eye in the nameplate hold it back for me.

the card and image are relatively clean and the colors are solid and those are big pluses. But the centering of the borders are way off and the mis-sizing of them holds this card back

Too off-centered and black name box has a fisheye.

The Mick himself is so well focused; I always check the Yankee logo on the cap, and this one is crisp. But the centering is aggressive and that print dot in the name plate really holds my eye in the wrong way.

Extreme centering shift distracts my eye from an otherwise nicely registered example with bright colors.
