There will be other forum members with much more experience examining the '52 Topps Mantle than I have, but looking at this, nothing is jumping out to disqualify this card.
This is a type A example. The black border appears correct. The pixel in the lower left hand corner of the border is missing. The black box around the Yankee logo is there. The coloring looks fairly accurate. As for the card itself, there's uniform wear at the corners. I'd really like to see the back if possible.
Poor to fair example. Several creases, some water damage to the front (looks like a drop in the middle), a little paper loss in the upper right hand corner.
What do you think, guys?
