1969 Topps Mickey Mantle #500

Great card. Just a slight corner touch and T/B centering keep it from a higher grade.

The card is OC from left to right with good corners. Surface looks clean, and the image of the Mick looks strong.

There's a tiny bit of tilt, but there aren't any major or minor issues otherwise.

Ultra clean, just barely pushed upwards. Very hard to improve.

About as centered as the '69 Mantle gets! I hardly can see the subtle corner wear, which is all that keeps it from GT.

Such a tough card to find centered like this. Slightly off top to bottom, but good enough for me. No other issues that bother my eye.

Such a difficult card to get even reasonably centered. This one has excellent centering with a slight shift to the top. Colors, image, and surface all look beautiful.

Nicely centered with strong color and no surface issues that jump out. This looks like a super clean example to me of a notoriously difficult card.

A notoriously off centered card. This one is fantastically framed and has no major flaws that take away from a great image and colors.

The card is really nice looking with minor blemish to the right of his head but it does mostly blend in well. The borders are nice size and the card has a subtle shift
