1952 Topps Willie Mays #261

The pinhole is unfortunate and can't be unpinned. The corners are soft and creased, too, yes. But everything else works well - the image, color, and print are nicely preserved and still have a lot of life and pop. The centering could certainly be worse, too. All in all, this old soldier still hits the eye pretty well!

Solid! Background coloring is outstanding on the front

Centering is the issue for me. Pinhole is not a problem for this guy. Colors are stunning.

Pinhole is fairly obvious but attractive centering & deep purple

A lot going on here with what appears to be a well placed pinhole, centering, and what look like beat up bottom corners, yet the rest of the card is strong enough for a low B.

The ability to enjoy Mays' image with no issue nagging my eye keeps the eye appeal in the second tear. The centering impacts me more than the pinhole.

Off-centered. A bit too much corner rounding on the bottom corners for my liking

My gut said 'B' and a longer looks did not sway that initial reaction in either direction. Centering is the salient flaw; the pinhole does not really faze me in that location. Lower corners are noticeable.

Very nice color and image. Centering is off, bottom corners are damaged, and their appears to be a pinhole up top. Also some surface wear. The card still presents well and has a nice overall look.

really like the color and the image. Minor surface wear but mostly blends in so does not distract. The card is off center and the damage on the bottom corners especially the left is noticeable and holds it back
