1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

The image and color look good. Centering is off left to right. Minor edge chipping and surface wear as well.

A high B+ and centering is the one big issue for me. If football's a game of inches eye appeal can be decided by millimeters and this is one or two from A- for me.

Overall, this is a nice example. For me, the image could be a bit crisper and the centering is off, but the overall presentation still feels decent enough.

What's great about this card is that the only noticeable flaw staring at it is side centering. But because it is flush and not tilted, it is so much easier on the eye than when this card's image sits at an angle. This example really clarifies how, at least for me, it is tilt that kills the eye appeal of many examples of this card.

I love how while it is off center as most are, somehow it went unscathed in terms of the tilt that plagues the '52 Mick. The rest is splendid.

The absence of tilt here allows this centering to still crack into the top tier of badges--which is huge for me on any example of this card. Love the solid blue as well. A beauty.

Wow that is a great looking card. Slight off center but better than most and the borders are nice sized and nice and bright. some minor issues on the borders but I can easily look past them Great looking card and 1 I can only dream of

Beautiful looking card. Virtually no blemishes in the background and the color pops. L/R centering is the only thing holding it back.
