1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

Impressed with the blemish free surface and clean focus. Corners are kinda soft and borders off white, slight center tilt, but not a big impact.

Centering keeps it from the A Tier though all other aspects certainly meet or exceed that threshold.

Clean example with a great looking image and nice color. Centering and tilt keep this just below A tier.

I think for a lot of people the centering is good enough to be happy here when you consider the pure blue background, crisp image, and overall cleanliness of the card. I'd personally hold out for a better centered example if I had the budget for a mid grade copy but it isn't hard to recognize the appeal of this one.

Outstanding image and color. Subtle tilt holds it back.

The image looks great, and the surface is nice and clean. With just a touch better centering, this would be in the A tier for me.

Wow. Love the look and the nice size borders. Send me the card and the invoice and would love to have it
