1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

Delivers a little more than what one would expect for what should obviously be a 1 or 1.5.

A lot of damage on the surface and off center

Punches above its weight class, yet despite how the central portrait holds the eye well, the centering and overall wear can't be ignored.

Some points saved for the face being free of all the damage.

3 of 4 borders have major issues several creases on card and all the speckling takes away from over all image. Add the off centering borders and sadly it fails the eye test Tough because surprisingly the image is pretty well intake and shows well
