1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle #253

Very nice color with excellent registration. PD in the background and off-centered.

great looking care with nice colors and image and nice and bright some black speckling in background on left and right size catches my eye and the centering is the hold back

The image focus is GT to me, and even the edges, surface, and corners are A/A+ (some scattered black print throughout makes mild impact)... but the centering, for me, caps the affair at a B+. Overall, this is very good eye appeal and the salient flaw just happens to be the one area alongside image that I care most about. I'd trade one of those corners for great centering, save a bundle, and the eye appeal would soar, too.

Beautiful example with with bright borders and very nice corners. The big distraction is the centering and also notice the blue specks especially at the top left of the card. Just misses a higher grade mostly due to the centering.
