1962 Topps Mickey Mantle #200

One of the elite looking examples out there. The flaws are very minor in terms of impact on eye appeal. A touch of low centering, slight right edge wear, top right corner touch.

Great overall centering, registration and color depth. The corners and edges are outstanding for this notoriously tough year to maintain both.

I have owned several copies of this card over the years and kept what I thought was a great one…this is perhaps the greatest. I do see some slight edge wear on the right bit god tier does not mean flawless, it simple means among the best of the best aesthetically. This one fits squarely in that category.

I detect low centering and a small degree of edge wear on the right border approximately at the midpoint. These factors impact aesthetics minimally. This card will be acquired in the first wave, when my reign begins.

This looks pack fresh! What a copy.

Enjoy the card and overall look and the issues are to minor to bother me from liking this card and the sharp image and colors

Great looking card with a clear image and clean surface. Minor edge wear on the right, but edges and corners look much better than most 62s. If not for a slight centering shift and the right edge this would be god tier.

Some edge wear and a touch low on the centering. Everything else looks great.

Without one of the two flaws I see (a touch of centering and mild edge wear) this hits God Tier. With both, it stays at an A+ of eye appeal.

I could write a small book on the 1962 Mantle card; I have owned many across all grades over the decades and find it a fun challenge of a card to find with eye appeal. This is simply one of the best I have encountered. No dark line at the bottom border/edge, great centering that's in the strike zone, minor edge wear that prevents God Tier status. I would put this one in my Mantle run, and that's a high beauty bar. That said, I would prefer some paper loss on tha back!
