1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

the tape on the top and the residual on the bottom are a BIG NO NO to me and very distracting. To bad because the colors on this card and image looks sharp. Add the edge issues and it falls short

Really impressive surface and rich, clean background. Of course, the centering detracts, and so does the tape residue. Still, some points for the bright, bold central image.
