Which one to keep?
 

Hi,

Recently picked up my first football card and my favorite post-war issue. However, I ended up with two copies in the same grade!

Which one looks better to you?

Thanks!

I like #2 the color is the main reason second is the centering .

Top right corner of #2 is gross

Easily #1 over #2. The discoloration on the upper right of 2 is too distracting for me.

I like the coloring and centering of the second one. I'd take whichever one you don't want. Nice cards!

Number 2 is far more desireable for 4 reasons:
1. Better centering
2. Much better color (which is one if the major draws to this card)
3. Its in a new holder (psa was more liberal in the past and newly graded cards carry a bit more respect)
4. Its not like the upper right corner on #1 is that great either

Keep the one that you enjoy looking at the most. For me, that would be number 2. Or you could sell both and get yourself a higher end Namath. I am actually surprised that anyone would take #1 in this scenario. 2 is just a better card. But i am a color and centering guy. Some guys care about corners over those two subs. At the end of the day, keep the one YOU love.

Sell them both and buy a higher grade!

I agree with everything you say, but what really sticks out, imo, is your number #1 comment.
