1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

Nice card for the grade but the surface issues hard to ignore.

Fairly graded as a 1 with significant staining, creasing through the face and wear to the blue background.

the image is respectable and all the white creases and spekles do not impact the face. the borders have some good color but what looks like water stain in the top left though not prominent is noticeable

You need your sea legs to handle this tilt, yet the central image is there and it punches a click above its weight class.
