1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

This is about the prettiest Mantle I've seen that was all full of creases and bends. The image and color are both still striking and the centering is obviously amazing.

Awesome centering. The cracks/ broken paint are in line with the TPG.

Really strong 1. No major flaws, good coloring, uniformly rounded corners.

Centering is surprisingly strong for a 1, and the creases and wrinkles really don’t bother me too much. Would be a great entry level 52T Mick!

Over-delivers. Yet REALLY coulda been a contender if that one wrinkle avoided his face. Still, if you're hunting a 1 this is pretty strong.

Amazing centering. Numerous wrinkles, including through the hat and face, bring this grade down.

Nice centering but significant creasing, including through the face really detracts from the eye appeal for me.

Bottom left corner crease is noticeable as well as the many white lines thru out. The border are nice and bold and the color and image still presents well
