Default Which Koufax?

K, need some help here, which Koufax presents better? I see pros and cons of each and I think I looked at them too long.

Those aren't super clear scans, but the bottom one is centered better. I can't see enough detail to evaluate the corners.

They are so very close to being identical. If they're the same grade, I say grab the cheaper of the two.

I like the colors on the top one better. Seem to pop a little more.

Thanks fellas, top one is a PSA 7 and I own the bottom one which is a PSA 5.

Was considering adding the 7 to the PC but hard to justify when my eye couldn’t clearly see a upgrade so needed your input. I like the centering better on the bottom one but I do think the corners are a tish better on the top. I do lean towards centering first.

The colors on the top one seem a bit more vibrant to me.

Agreed. The bottom looks a bit flat, especially the team name.

I like the colors on the top one better - Sandy's hat looks more blue and the bottom one looks more purple.

With that, they both nice cards and I can't see paying much of a premium for the top one.

Thanks gents, appreciate the quick responses!

Those that know me know I like adding duplicates so it’s not like I wouldn’t keep both if I had them…I sort of view each Koufax card as a unique piece whether it’s a PSA 1 or 7.

This is true, but based on the difference in the white border and the background, it is possible that the differences are attributable to differences in the equipment they were scanned on.

Do you have the 7 in hand to confirm the color differences?

I do not as I haven’t purchased it, and you might be correct on the scan for both.
