Grade mystery… why Teddy Ballgame a 4?

In order to get any accurate response, you need to take pictures at an angle under a light source, then upload them somewhere else. Then put the links in your post. Net54 message board photo storage does not allow for the image size/resolution that we would need to give you an answer.
If you sell it, realize it will probably get cracked out, pressed, and end up in an 8 slab.

Good idea on the image… I’ll try that. Thx

(and seriously? I suppose this one could qualify in a fake 8 holder…. I suppose I won’t ever have to worry since this guy is a keeper)

But really wondered where the technical flaws were - I’ll post those images tomorrow.

Thx again

I was only partially kidding about it being a future victim of fraud. But I'd bet it would be a top candidate based on the premium centering.

Also, it might just be a reflection of the holder or camera, but the back looks a bit wonky on my screen with a curve of lighter paper. If there are stains or even minor paper loss on the back, that too could tank the grade. Of course, that's the kind of card I like personally, as 95% of the time I'm looking at the front. And that front is a beauty.

Yeah, nice card, terrible photographer! Here we go again… I just can’t find the wrinkles or creases - but they must be there!

I’ll try that link idea that was suggested… thx again all

Maybe try looking at it under a black light. Sometimes I see wrinkles with them.
