1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle #253

Woah. This one hits my eye just right. Phenomenal eye appeal. Maybe the slightest bit of excess print & toning that keeps it from GT. Interested to see the grade… Looks like a very high grade example to me.

too much trump going on in the skintone here, otherwise its flirting with GT.

Very sharp card with huge borders that appeal to me. Centering and registration are the flaws, the question is how much do those impact eye appeal, to each of us. For me, it is not too much as the overall prestentaion is pack fresh.

Centering and focus.

Strong overall eye appeal right here. The centering could be better and the NY cap has a bit of a blur but that’s it for me.

Very sharp card, even the corners look good. There is light toning throughout the card. Centering is good, but a little off, as is the registration. Overall, it presents very well.

Strong eye appeal overall. The centering is a tid bit off and there is a touch of image blur, which are the only flaw that detract in my opinion.

This is a great looking card. centering is slightly off left/right but minimal especially on a horizontal card. the colors and the image are sharp. very minor surface wear that blends in well. Just wish the card was brighter especially the borders But overall this card has the Wow Factor

Love the colors and image. Very slight registration shift but doesn't hurt the eye-appeal. Slight tilt in the centering. Not sure of the alteration but I assume it's trimmed. Whatever the alteration is, it's not really noticeable. Great looking card.
