1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

The color, image, borders, and even corners all look very strong, especially when considering the grade. Centering and what appear to be 2 pinholes at the top are the main issues.

I am a centering guy, yet I can't deny this is pretty easy on the eye; the surface and critically important blue are dynamite. The back miscut does not bother me in the slightest. The pinholes are noticeable but not a distraction.

Nice looking 1 with centering issues

The pinholes don’t bother me at all but the top bottom centering commands too much attention.

this is better than the slabbed grade but the two holes(I believe staple but not sure) are small and not to noticeable. The borders are bold but off center but has decent coloring and the image and colors are strong
