Nicest-looking card in the CJ set, in my opinion.

While I might pick one or two others as nicest looking, I can't argue that the Baker is a great looking card. The beauty is subtle. From the peaceful, almost haunting look in Baker's eyes to the way his image is slightly left of center, placed boldly against the Cracker Jack red background.

No we could tell you didn't write for an AH, your clarity lacked hyperbole and improper syntax. Great Baker card!

Thanks. I'm learning Frank has a lot of cool cards. But you probably already knew that.

I will have to practice on the auctionspeak....

Even corner wear consistent with a VG-EX example and reasonably clean surfaces contribute to the fine aesthetics, and, unbeknownst to the casual observer, the uncompromising demeanor of this cardboard specimen's resolve harkens back to an era of effervescent....

Love this because of centering, not the usual OJ, and relatively strong image. Not sure why "A"--if you want to hazard a guess, please do. Paper loss on back seems minor...

Nice image but I suspect Foutz is the recipient of a new back. Looks like the albumen print (photo) falls short of reaching the back on more than one border. So I suspect it is graded "A" due to being re-backed. Perhaps you can tell me otherwise with the card in hand.

I agree with Joe, rebacked and possibly trimmed a little bit on the bottom and left side. It's still a beautiful example, many of the Browns Champ cards have a weak photo.
