1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

Many surface issues and centering hurt this iconic card.

The centering is just too extreme for me here-- yet it still punches considerably above its weight, as I am sure EyeQ+ will bear out.

Significant wrinkling, off-centered and lots of edge wear. It hits my eye the same as the technical grade.

not sure if part of my evaluation is effected by the way this card was scanned in or photo taken and upload. When i look at it at regular magnification it looks like there are lines going vertically thru his face and arms like he was looking thru curtains. But when I zoom in at some point it almost disappears. The card is off center but the borders are ok. The colors are faded and there is light dark color spots on upper left and there are spider web lines thru out but not over bearing
