1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

Crease free, which is better than many at this grade level. But the surface issues and small piece missing from the top left corner make this a pass for me.

Yes, it's missing a chunk off the top left corner, there's generalized scuffing, and the centering is off—yet somehow his image holds the eye nicely. I could look at this one a while and am generally pleased. Often it isn't about an accounting of the wear, but how it all comes together.

This card calls to me, even with surface and corner issues. Great card for a 1

Fairly graded as a "1" with the piece missing from the top left corner and significant surface scuffing. Decent centering though.

Borders, Edge's, and Corner's..Oh My (wizard of Oz Pun). But those all hve opportunities but the main image and color are strong
