1953 Topps Mickey Mantle #82

I like the colors and image. The left border looks odd as it gets thinner going top to bottom.

Well centered & minimal edge chipping. Has everything I look for on this card.

That Red Zone is like the Bermuda Triangle for 53T Micks-- it's where their eye appeal vanishes. Yet it's exceptionally strong on this example, which more than overshadows some sway in thickness of the side borders (this is seen as the eye travels down the side borders, and the left border becomes narrower). The image has no blemishes, the corners are even strong. Just a very pretty example of an all-time classic card!
