1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

A+ Color A+ Registration / Surface A- Cut / Centering Typical 1952 Mantle Type 2 inner black border tilt. Slants inward near the bottom (our right) corner

Great example of how little a silver/gold sticker means.. Major diagonal tilt and some PD. Still an amazing card, but I've seen many lower graded copies that look better

The tilt is too much. Also a little snow jumps on the left side.

Odd tilt happening here - but this Type 2 does have a nice clean surface and relatively sharp corners. The tilt-a-whirl theme continues on the back. At the price point in this holder this is not a card I'd line up to own.

This is a nice card, but I don't see how it got that sticker. The centering is nice but the cut is too distracting.

Too much tilt for me to call it any prettier than B level. That bottom right border is just so much fatter than the bottom left.

Beautiful card with a little tilt. She white boarders, centering and corners are truly special on this one.

good looking card. Colors are a bit faded and the centering is off but it is a clean looking card

How does seasick tilt like this get an eye appeal sticker? Talk about being blinded by the rushed, uninformed opinion of one anonymous stranger in a 3rd party grading cubicle. Look at the borders of this card at the bottom, and notice how much fatter the right border is. A card is much more than its corners. From a foot away in hand or across a room, we can see bad centering and tilt, but we can't discern differences in corners that require a magnifying glass.
