1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

Centering and slant look to it.

The centering alone would not hurt the eye appeal to the B- level, yet there is also a scuff in his cap that I notice and a blemish in the blue.

Tilt is strong, and the narrow top border is hard to ignore. I'd be happy with this of course, but we're not looking at off the charts eye appeal here.

Off centered. If the blue was free of any blemishes would have graded its eye appeal better.

Gorgeous example

Nice looking card and off centered but centering is nicer than most. The borders are bold and corners sharp The colors and image is strong. minimal white speckling but nothing distracting

Average.

Top to bottom centering pulls down the appeal.

up and down is the biggest issue with a tilt, nice copy
