Graded a NM/MT+ 92 by SGC, a light touch to the top left corner and almost insignificant centering bias in favor of the bottom edge is the rationale to exclude this otherwise exceptional 1961 Topps Mickey Mantle All Star issue from a MINT holder. Both the edges and remaining corners appear sufficient for the superior grade and the image of Mantle is detailed and powerful. For a "half-grader", this card is closer to the next grading tier than the preceding one!
