1957 Topps Mickey Mantle #95

Really pretty example of this mantle

Tough to find with this centering

High marks in eye appeal for this 57 Mick, one of his hardest cards to find with great aesthetics. Far better than the average specimen in the looks department thanks to minimal tilt, good strong contrast, and focus.

Centering above average and the print area does have some print defects but does not overpower the eye in a negative way. The light stain at the very top of the border that is centered draws my eye a bit too much away from the great image of Mick.

Centering is decent, but a little off left to right. Nice image but the snow in the background keeps this just below A tier.

good mid tier card. The border sizes are good and frames card good but it is off center. IT has a nice image but not as crisp as I would like and background blemishes preventing mute the overall look

This 57 Mick has really good eye appeal to me, anchored by great contrast and focus in the image. Centering is off but a bit above average for this card. Some surface blemishes in the top border and around the 'E' in Mantle affect eye appeal a bit. Back centering does not matter to my enjoyment here. Right at the top of the second level of eye appeal.
