1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

Well-centered. Obvious surface wear but image still looks very nice.

Really love the centering on this card as so hard to find but to much surface wear effects the image and colors and holds back the appeal. But the centering really pulls it up

All about the centering on this bad boy. Centering is off the charts but the obvious surface wear just keeps this one outside of the A tier. Congrats to the owner of this centered Mick.

Great centering which is so hard to find on this card. The corner wear doesn't bother me too much but there is quite a bit of surface damage. Still presents well.

I may be the outlier here, and I see the bruising on the surface... And if it was on his face I would say the exalted "A Level" is out of the question... BUT! That centering, for a centering guy here, I mean, how many are like that AND the face is clean, and so is the blue near his face. So I may be the outlier opinion on this one but I am going A-. I really and truly would take this one over one with mint corners and massive tilt with 70/30 centering.

Don’t often see the 52 Mick centered like this one - amazing. The apparent surface wear and snow hold it back - but it misses almost all the key details of Mickey’s face which is great and preserves the integrity of the image. This one punches well above its weight class for sure, congrats.

Rare centering drives well above average eye appeal for me on this one! Surface prevents the A tier. God Tier centering.
