Re: the 2 1957 Koufaxes
Sometimes when I comment, I believe I have covered all the bases. Then
there's a curveball, so I feel compelled to try again. The ineptitude of
certain grading companies is a different issue from eye appeal to a specific
collector. Both of those Koufaxes look good to me. The fact that there is a
SEVEN point difference in their grades is a reflection on the grader, not on
the concept of "eye appeal". I think the initial topic was innocent, and there
is just no doubt that, when 2 cards are put next to one another, one can
grab the attention of the viewer more than the other. "Eye appeal" is just a
shorthand version of a longer explanation for why one looks best- assuming
it's used honestly, of course
