1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311, PSA Good + 2.5
Best-In-Class Expert Analysis/Summary:
As you travel down the card grading scale, the variance in eye appeal becomes increasingly evident between examples. On iconic vintage cards, like the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, the aesthetics of each copy are even more important to collectors. Here, the card's print quality and attractive centering produce a level of visual allure often reserved for specimens graded much higher. The visual quality of this card, relative to the numerical grade, is superb between the black lines. In addition, because this specific example is what some collectors refer to as a "Type I" (the card was double-printed with two distinct variations), the vibrance is almost always superior to that of the "Type II" copies.
Due to its exceptional eye appeal for the grade assigned, this striking card received our Best-In-Class assessment.
