1952 Topps Willie Mays #261

Obvious corners but retains strong image

Clean central image that holds the eye. Solid card that has no screaming flaws but enough issues that do create cumulative impact.

nice mid grade card. Centering is a bit off and there is some edge/corner wear. But I like the border sizes and how it frames the card. The main image and color are solid with some minor blemishes that blend in well and a few that stand out if you want to nit pick

Above-average centering and color drive the eye appeal for me here. What looks like surface wear dulls the pop and keeps it a tier below for me.

Decent centering. A bit too much corner wear. Surface wear in background and cap area.
