1961 Topps Mickey Mantle #300

Centering is nearly GT on this. Corners show some very light softness and close examination shows very light edge chipping. Surface shows fish-eyeing, most notable to the left of Mick’s ear and in the red name banner, along with some minor fish-eyeing around the black corner. From a card quality perpesective, this is a very nice example. From a QC example, pretty on par for 60s Topps cards.

With an adjustment of OC, this has the makings of an A+ grade card.

So much is right here on a card that can have so much go wrong. Really stellar example of an impossible card, minor surface issues don't bother me at all.

Centering is very good and the image is clear. There is some surface wear and that red print defect stands out, but overall a nice looking card.

Love the centering and overall initial appearance but really do get distracted with the multiple fish-eyes present on the card.

T/B centering and the PD, but overall a very nice example.

like the overall look of the card with nice borders and centering and a strong image. the Print defects and that red mark to the left of Mickey's head hold it back a bit

Attractive card. Minimal shift & zoom needed to see the print spot in the name plate.

Some PD throughout but the overall look is top tier for the '61 Mick.

Image and centering are spot on. The surface isn't the cleanest with the fisheye and a couple areas where it detracts.
