1953 Bowman Mickey Mantle #59

A respectable looking copy. Edges are worn, but color and focus remain good.

Good eye appeal that somehow does not succumb to the issues like bottom corner wear, some dirt embedded in the blue, and a top left wrinkle. The wear wound up in the right places.

A bit dull around the border and edges

I'm a big fan of this copy even with the corner wear and what appears to be a crease on the top left. Centering is nearly perfect and the registration is spot on. The color probably isn't top tier but it doesn't detract.

Corner rounding but nicely framed

Solid centering and image. Some surface soiling with corners and top centering are the flaws that impact eye appeal.

lots of marks on the surface of the card especially noticeable in the blue background. Add to that the discoloration of the borders and those hold back the card.
