Default May Pickups

Maybe not as cool as Jolly's Brett or one of his patented PSA 9 MC's, but I picked up this Reggie on Saturday for a fraction of the price of a comparable EX-MT range card. I'm choosing to look at this as not only MC, but more a "thickborder" (thickburger?) card. That right side almost looks like vanilla cake frosting. :-) There is also a hint of the printer's mark / sheet guide on the fat right border, which is a nice touch.

Re-evaluating the conventional hobby wisdom on what is a desirable card with this one. Perfectly centered gems from the 60's may be beautiful, but I can tell you for sure at least this one ain't altered...
