1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle #253

This is tough for me as my two top criteria are centering and image. The latter is awesome. The former, quite off. They cancel out to a solid B.

nice colors and image both of which POP especially love the Blue of the cap. The center is off to much to level it up but it is still a card to be cherished

Even a centering guy like me is very impressed with the crystal clear image on this example. It really holds the eye in a lovely way. That Yankee logo on the cap is just so focused. With better centering this is way into the A tier.

Love the image and registration of the card. The centering holds it back from the "A" tiers.
