There are several scratches on the front, and I suspect that hurt the grade more than any of the other issues this card has. There is no paper loss, and the card does not have any significant creasing (I only see some wrinkles in the corners). There's a little staining on the front, but no major marks. All the corners are soft, but the rounding does not extend into the "green" of the card. The edges are "ok", and there's the typical Goudey toning and some additional staining on the back.

Maybe the oversized scans add some shock value to the defects, but a grade of 2 seems right to me. I wouldn't be surprised if SGC graded this a 30, although I would not be shocked if SGC assigned a 20 either.

One of the all-time great cards, which I'd be glad to own in any condition.
