THE MICK

I have always loved the look of the 53 Mantle. Can't say I am the biggest collector of Mickey Mantle, but have always wanted a really nice one of these. Top to bottom centering is not the best, but the side to side is great! Was fortunte to pick this up from board member Curt (BBCEmporium). Thanks for a really nice deal Curt, and safe packaging.
Edit to add: The spec of white near nose, is my scanner.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
If I could ever stop my unopened pack addiction, I would love to get a card like that.

One of my all-time favorites - the set also.
Because of the light background - the center T/B looks fine - I'd be honored to have it. Thanx.
Very nice card. One of my favorites of the Mick. You have one heck of a collection going. Here is mine, while not a 7, I think it shows very well.

By the way, for my personal collection I keep an eye out for cards that are 50/50 centered left to right but not well centered top to bottom. I just don't think that the flaw takes away from the card, and a lot of times I can pick up the card at a discount.
