Those cards are just plain gorgeous. Awesome! However, I raise this simply for the sake discussion...

Look at the 1952 card. Notice the yellow that has bled outside of the bottom border where Mantle's name is. The stars are yellow and the yellow is not within the lines. Should not this make it a flawed card and therefore unworthy of Gem Mint status? It has always been my understanding that printing imperfections affect the grade. Or maybe that's how the card was supposed to look...?

Maybe I'm wrong.
