1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

Obvious problems on this one.

Too many problems.

Likely a 1 for a good reason. Poor centering combined with extreme surface issues, tough to overcome.

The centering is way off and the surface is very scuffed. Any 52 Mantle is a great card that many would love to own in any condition. But this one has no eye appeal for me.

For a 1, its not bad. Discloring/fading, bad centering/corners/borders. Again, for a 1, not bad. Still a decent image, and avoids major creasing/marks that plague a lot of other 1 grades.

surface and off centering too tough to ignore

A better than average "1" but the centering is distracting and the card is very washed out from wear, but at least it is uniformly worn throughout.

Accurately assessed by the TPG. Eye appeal is commensurate with that assessment. The visual experience is just way too far from the ideal.

The card is relatively clean but the colors are a bit faded. Borders suffer from discoloration and corners have condition issues.
