Would be curious to hear opinions of others here and Add a card that typifies your choices!

Here's mine:
Amazing 51B Mantle AJ! Higher graded ones can't beat the eye appeal, registration, and centering on that Mick!

I always try to look for cards that are centered, have great eye appeal, and a sharp clean image. I can live with slightly rounded corners since I generally buy low grade anyways. I don't mind minor paper loss on the back if the front has all those attributes. I certainly didn't mind it on the T206 Cobb
