1953 Topps Mickey Mantle #82

Excellent copy. I don't like the wrinkly in the top right, but if I didn't want to spend PSA 4 money on one, I'd be pumped to own this.

There is a noticeable amount of card missing from the corners. The portrait itself is nice looking.

Surface issues in the top right would bother me a little, and the crease, but it looks very nice for the grade.

The strong registration is noticeable above all. Some corner wear but nothing that really runs into the face region, a big plus. I'd take this 1.5 all day

I can look past the creases in his jersey, but the creases in the top corners nuke it for me. The surface of his face and cap are vibrant and clean.

Very good centering, but the bottom corners and top right border wrinkle detract a little. Still a great example in the grade.

Great card for the grade

Nice colors and registration. The drawback for me is the wrinkle, but at least it does not appear to run through his face. Overall, looks much nicer than the 1.5 technical grade.

Strong image and nice centering. The edges and corners have wear but it does not takeaway from the eye appeal

This card punches way above its weight class, hence the high eye appeal grade. Love the central image, and the way the red corner "wears its wear." The centering is almost there for this OCD centering maniac and the top right is hit just enough where I notice it.
