1966 Topps Mickey Mantle #50

The image and color stand out. Too off-centered to get in the A tiers.

nice and clean and bright appeals to me but the mis sized borders and off centering holds it back

Below average centering distracts the eye initially. The image is clear with honest corner wear. The colored areas and lettering are free of any significant print flaws which uplifts the eye appeal of an overall pretty card of the Comet.

Love the crisp image; this is the level of focus that's ideal on the 66 Mick. Comparing examples reveals just how common a sub-optimally focused image is on this card. Centering keeps the overall eye appeal in the good tier, everything else is top notch. Shout out to the clean red name plate, another oft-plagued area of this card.
