Would You Rather.... E95 Cobb poll

[GeoPoto]

I'm going with the bottom card. I agree the gashed corner is initially glaring, but upon continued review, it doesn't actually affect the image area of the card and really is not much worse than the lower right corner of the top card. At the same time the top card has off-putting creases that make it hard to look at the face. On balance, I think the creases are worse, but only because of where they fall.

I would go with the first one without the mouse nibbled corner.

I have to say, I much prefer the one without all the creases.

Did I say I Hate Creases?

Because I do hate creases!

The missing corner doesn't bother me much, because it doesn't affect Cobb's image; it does not negatively affect the eye appeal nearly as much as all the creases do on the other card.

Missing chunks in the border don't typically bother me. However this duo is a tough call, but even with the creases the first one gets the nod from me because of the bolder colors.

Of all people to click the wrong one, I did. Take one away from the keeper being the chunk missing, over to the creased card. I would keep it.

Def the one with the creases. To me a missing piece or some scribble on the front of the card is just a gut punch every time I look at it.

Can't handle the missing corner. To glaring for me.

I couldn’t sleep at night with that missing corner in my house, lol.

Agreed. I'll generally be more forgiving of a janky frame with a clean subject than a nicer frame with distracting marks on the subject.

Missing corner is less bad than damage through the image. The creased up one will sell for more too. Sell the creased, keep the missing corner with the better image.

I think the overall photo, eye appear of the main portion of the card is better in the example with the corner chunk that is gonzo....I have a W600 Crawford that has similar mouse damage on an entire side of the board but the rest of the card is really nice. To me, I like the non-creased version better.

Great conversation topic by the way!
