1964 Topps Mickey Mantle #50

Surface wear in the background and a bit too much corner wear for my liking. Central image of Mantle still presents well.

I'm going with the high mark of good eye appeal here even with this degree of corner rounding; the clean black is something I look for, and the centering is great. Thankfully the surface marks or snow on the left avoids The Mick. This card somehow is a case of 1+1+1 equalling less than 3 when it comes to its wear and the effect on eye appeal.
