1952 Topps Willie Mays #261

I don’t mind the Diamond cut given all of the wonderful attributes. Color is on point with clean edges & square corners.

Like many 52ts, this copy looks poorly centered to me with what appears to be a tilt. There’s also a few surface issues that look noticeable against the dark background. Still presents decent enough to earn a B grade for me.

The image and color look good, but the tilt and surface issues hurt this one.

Some surface issues and scratches mainly on the left side. The centering is heavily tilted. Colors and image are good but the issues hold it back for me.

Punches above its weight yet the tilt does grab the eye.

The card has surface wear that affects the image and colors. The borders are nice sized but off center and slightly discolored To me this is a good card but a hold its place card for me until I could upgrade
