1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

Unfortunately dark colored staining is always a massive detriment

It’s a 1 of a top hobby card, what do you expect? It’s not for me but it’s not the worst 1 by a mile.

Poorly centered and too much staining to warrant a higher eye appeal grade.

The staining and centering combination are just to much, on this one. The solid blue saves a rung.

A couple of grade rungs salvaged because his face escaped the damage.

This card is difficult to take in, as its condition leaves the impression it may have spent time in less than ideal surroundings. Perhaps a cat box?

Staining or tape residue or a combo but in 4 places and very noticeable I cannot see past that
