Default Upgrading Our Pre-War Cards - R308s etc..

Sometimes I upgrade then think, why did I do that again? Well, the bit darker one is so much better.
Really? LOL.... Maybe I was bored and bid? I mean, it's nicer but did I really need to upgrade my type card? The price was about average...

Seems like a pretty significant size difference too.

Generally, a darker image on photographic cards is considered better. At least that is what I always look for, damn the technical grade.

It's a close call this time IMO. Neat card either way though.

It's all personal preference, I suppose. I think the one on the right is almost too dark (and soiled). The one on the left is o/c but the lighter image appeals more to me of the two. I'd vote for lefty.
