Mid-Grade Collectors

Dead centered and slightly soft corners is a nice presentation.

Thanks, I was watching it for a while....in the end just such a nice mid grade example.

My 53 Bowman set ranges from a few cards in vg to near mint, with the majority in either vg/ex to excellent condition. I'm trying to upgrade my vg/ex cards to excellent but as the gap price-wise seems to be widening, my major stars will have to remain untouched unless I can either sell other parts of my collection and try to wrangle some trades.

Finally found a nicely centered copy, and honestly could care less on grade.

Congrats! That one is very difficult to find nicely centered. I used to have a 6, but it was off about as much as a 6 could be off left to right.

Thanks, I’ve been looking for about 18 months, ran across a few but either I missed them or they seemed to be trimmed so passed on them. But in terms of anything a PSA 4 or lower I think this has been one of the only I’ve seen so couldn’t pass up. Plus the last one need for his basic topps run which is nice!

Congrats on finishing the run, that's neat. Yeah the conformities of professional grading aside, eye appeal can be different things to different people. In fact - that is mainly what this thread is about. That's a beautiful card!
