I just got this card I won off Ebay the other day and I was disappointed to find out the reason I bought it is barely noticeable in person.
First, check out the card from the ebay link http://www.ebay.com/itm/T206-Jimmy-L...vip=true&rt=nc Go to the zoom feature and check the top border and look at that nice big cross mark with the two yellow printing lines. I'll wait for you to return.... I looked at the card today and couldn't see the printing lines at all. I literally had to go under a light, with a magnifying glass and tilt the card right to see the lines, so they are there, it's just a lot of work to see them. Not what I was hoping for when I bought the card. Now I'm wondering how many other cards have them and they are just impossible to see without a huge scan of the card.

When I scan cards I get, quite often I'll see the register marks in the white border, look at the card again, and still not be able to see it. Amazing what a good scanner will pick up that the human eye can't see on it's own.

Makes me nuts. I My cards look worse in the scan than they are in hand. My scanner seems to pick up every little flaw and magnify it.
