1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

The color and image look great, but the centering is way off. I'd expect better at this grade level.

This is one of the cleanest Image/color background combo. So Strong and bold. But the mismatched and off centered borders holds it back for me.

The centering here keeps this in the "C Tier" no matter how strong the corners are. Corners may be the biggest determinant in TPG grade, yet for eye appeal I like pictures framed evenly. I don't sent a new piece of art to the framer's and ask them to put two inches of frame on the left and a half inch on the right--and then hang it crooked.
