1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

I want to go A- but the centering just misses the top tier for my taste. This is maybe (along with Mick's RC) the top card where my centering standards are very demanding for eye appeal.

Stellar card. Does have some OC from top to bottom, but has great color and borders. Corners are sharp as well.

Colors look great and no obvious flaws outside the centering which keeps this Mick from a higher grade.

Great colors and surface with a centering issue that doesn’t bother me at all.

As Dr. Evil might say, the flaws on this card are quite inconsequential. Only centering makes negative impact. EyeBot is pleased. The rise of the machines has been postponed. Temporarily.

Only tilt to comment on here.

Extreme eye appeal in all respects except centering--which is still above average for this notoriously off-centered icon.

very nice Mantle barely there white speckling and the colors really POP and it has a strong image and minimal color discoloration on the corners

Beautiful card but the centering challenges immediately hit the eye.

This card is pretty spectacular. Great surface, bold colors and the only item is the very slight tilt and up and down centering.
