1952 Topps Willie Mays #261

The print flaws to the right of his hat distract and some corners are touched pretty hard but above average centering and colors remain. Pretty card.

Print registration is strong, but there’s noticeable print loss that keeps it from looking fully crisp. Centering is respectable, though clearly nudged left and down. The border shows its age with dirt and wear that dulls the presentation a bit. Still, it holds together nicely and lands as a solid B for overall eye appeal.

The image and background color look good. Centering isn't terrible, but off both ways. The main issues affecting the grade are the surface wear and marks in the upper right corner.

Centering and surface scratch hold eye appeal in the B Tier.

The colors and image on the card are strong. The borders off center mainly T/B but overall not better than most. The marks on the card and the background speckling really hurts the eye appeal to me as it catches and holds my eyes

Too much surface wear in the background. Centering also could be better.
